Luke 2:50

Weymouth NT

»Why is it that you have been searching for me?« He replied; »did you not know that it is my duty to be engaged upon my Father's business?«

See the chapter Copy

They, however, did not understand what He meant, and were afraid to question Him.

Nothing of this did they understand. The words were a mystery to them, nor could they see what He meant.

But they did not understand His meaning: it was veiled from them that they might not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.
