There is no account as to what really happen to Jesus Christ within that age range, but one fact that I do no...jesus works for the good and for fulfilling his Father's will.
If we are going to tell all the work of Jesus, it will not be enough for us to learn it all coz his works are vast and in deep doctrines.
But if time comes, all will be revealed to us what really happen To HIM..
But rest assures that answers comes to those who sseek the scriptures diligently and through prayers..
Hope you find your answer soon!!!!!!!

One can only assume that since his parents found him in the temple of his Father's House after the festival, and that he was there because this was his Father's House, he was learning about the Law.
Not just the Law, but also how to separate man's interpretation of the Law from the Actual Spoken Word of God. Therefore preparing for the Journey that was to be set before him.
Plus he was observing what man did and did not do according to man's selfishness and greed concerning the Law, God's Law.
In a very simple but poignant truth, he was Learning Obedience, Trust and Faith along with Love and how to apply those to fallen mankind. In a way that generation would understand.
Jesus says:
When I was a child, I thought and acted like a child = Old Testament.
But when I became a man, I put childish things away = New Testament.

Sometime as a young boy His family returned from Egypt and settled down in Nazareth and apparently He lived in and grew just like any other boy of that time and place, except that He was recorded as being left behind at the temple once and was found talking with the teachers about scripture and they were amazed by His knowledge of the Torah. A good book that I recently read is Christ the Lord Out of Egypt by Anne Rice who converted back to Christianity from Atheism while researching the life of Christ for her book.

There is only the following to give us a hint: (Matthew 13:55-56) "Is this not the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? 56 And his sisters, are they not all with us?"
When Jesus went to "his home territory" that was how he was recognized.
One can only speculate, since it seems Joseph, Jesus' step father, was dead when Jesus himself was killed that perhaps Jesus helped his large family to earn a living by being a carpenter! It would be logical for him as the eldest son to take over his father's responsibilities as a wage earner until he needed to take care of his primary responsibility, his ministry. That was after all one of the primary reasons why he was made manifest to the world of men, to give his life for our sins.
But, this is all conjecture.

The Bible is silent on this matter. That is understandable inasmuch as his childhood and teen-age years make no appreciable difference to those who would subsequently accept him as the servant sent by God. When he was baptised, he was anointed and it is from this point that his life made such a difference to us.
One event - when he was about 12 - is recorded in the scriptures. It is recorded because it is a very telling event. Other than that, we do not know what happened in his early years and we do not need to know. What is in the Bible is there for a reason. What is left out is left out for a reason.

convinced, i imagine this could have occurred. it would not were mandatory for Jesus to flow as far as India. via the time of the early Christians, Buddhism had spread as far as Egypt, and there grow to be a sect of Jewish Buddhists: the Theraputae. the perception of Jesus' lacking 17 years is roofed contained in the apocryphal Christian Aquarian Gospel.

Couldn't tell ya. I wasn't there. I do believe He spread the word and probably built a few tables or something. He was a carpenter after all. Offhand, I don't think those years were documented so they probably weren't for us to know about....that's just a guess.

Peace!
He was working as a carpenter and saving money for his ministry. In the Jewish culture it was the responsibility of a father to teach his eldest son his work. Since his father, Joseph was a carpenter this must have been his work.
God bless

Lived with Joseph and Mary at home helping Joseph at the carpentry and was obedient to them. His life from Birth to the Cross is a PERFECT life for anyone to follow. His life was filled with all qualities for a wonderful Christian life on Earth.

According to Christopher Moore, he travelled to China to learn kung fu, and India to study yoga ;)
The reality is likely just as interesting, it's likely that he a) travelled to Europe (specifically England) with his uncle to learn about tin trading, and b) underwent initiation and training in the Essene faith at Qumran.
