- さて, イエス の 兩親は, 過越の 祭には 每年 エルサレム へ 上っていた.

- When they saw Him, they were astonished; and His mother said to Him, "Son, why have You treated us this way? Behold, Your father and I have been anxiously looking for You."
- And He said to them, "Why is it that you were looking for Me? Did you not know that I had to be in My Father's house?"

- And He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and He continued in subjection to them; and His mother treasured all these things in her heart.
- And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
|
- それから イエス は 兩親と 一緖に ナザレ に 下って 行き, 彼らにお 仕えになった. 母はこれらの 事をみな 心に 留めていた.
- イエス はますます 知惠が 加わり, 背たけも 伸び, そして 神と 人から 愛された.
