What happened to the bit in the bible between Jesus as a small child to his adult years?

Question

What kind of mischief did he get up to in his teenage years?

Answer 1

I guess if God felt we needed to know about all those years then he would have included them.....don't you think that the Bible would have been a little too long of a read with every thing in that Jesus did?.....I think God put in just what He thought was needed for us while we are here on earth.....

Answer 2

Well, in Dogma, he spent years trying to come to terms with being The Savior.

Another theory common in some circles is that Jesus was an Essene--a society in Jewish culture. They did castration or were celibate or something. I don't know--it was a secret society! How can I know the details? Actually, I just don't remember everything I read about it. But it was some kind of pagan mystery cult thing, so it took up a lot of time and learning and as an apprentice-type person, he wouldn't have been doing much wandering around preaching.

But I'd like to think he had more fun than that. Too bad there aren't any records.

Answer 3

Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written. -John 21:25

Probably no mischief because he was the Son of God and shared the Fathers very essence. Maybe if you become his follower you can do great things for God too!

Answer 4

The gospels are accounts of Jesus by his followers. They did not know him before then, that time was not important, and the only thing outside of that, the nativity, was researched.

And to answer your second question, what kind of mischief would a perfect deity get into? None.

Answer 5

Well Like i've answerd before, The History channel is amazing on answering these little questions, and I watch alot of the Histiory channel, so according to the history channel most that was written about Jesus as a child to man hood was throw out becasue the church found fault or found it irrelivent. There is one story that sticks in my mind though:
When Jesus was about 10 years old him and another boy were playing on a roof, and Jesus (in malace) Pushed him off the roof and the child died. Jesus then brought him back to life (becuase he felt such grief for what he had done) and the man grew to adulthood with Jesus. This was said to be his "Turrning point" and made Jesus a better man and what made him the way he was!

Answer 6

The Bible doesn't give us many details about Jesus' boyhood—although there isn't any reason to think He didn't run and play like other boys His age. The Bible simply says that as a boy "Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men" (Luke 2:52). Those words indicate that even as a young boy Jesus knew He was unique, and was set apart by God for a special mission.

The only glimpse the Bible gives us of Jesus' boyhood years confirms this. Mary and Joseph were devout people, and every year they journeyed to Jerusalem to celebrate one of the major religious feasts. Jesus always went with them—but once, when He was 12, He got separated from them, and they only found Him several days later.

Where was He? They found Him in the Temple, surrounded by religious teachers and scholars and "listening to them and asking them questions. Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers" (Luke 2:46-47). Afterward He told Mary and Joseph, "Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house?" (Luke 2:49). He already knew that God was His Father and He was God's Son, sent from heaven to save us from our sins.

The most important truth about Jesus, however, is this: He grew up and willingly went to the cross for us. He loves us that much! Have you responded to His love by giving your life to Him?

Answer 7

Good question. The years from 12 to 32 are undocumented. What is it that people usually do during those two decades? Travel, study, socialize, court, marry, have children, work etc. It's unlikely that it was much different for Jesus of Nazareth.

Answer 8

I have read various theories about this. One states that Jesus journeyed to India, and became a fully enlightened yogi before returning to Israel to accomplish His ministry. Another theory states He went to what is now the U.K., and yet another says there is evidence He traveled to Japan. Nobody knows for sure. It's pure speculation.

Answer 9

Well, since it says that he committed no sin, then OBVIOUSLY there was no mischief...maybe he just innocently grew up. Who cares all of a sudden? Two questions in a row!!
Is this supposed to invalidate him? Sorry, you'll have to try harder than that?

Answer 10

Sorry, nothing written about those years, between age 12 and 30. If you become a Christian you can find out though when we all get to heaven. If not you will never know.
