The middle years ??
Are you referring to the time he was growing up ?
I will tell you what he was doing , he was growing up.:-)
His childhood and adolescent years were not the important time in his life.
That came after he was baptized and started his preaching and teaching work telling about Gods true purpose for mankind.
No conspiracy or mystery here , just the unimportant stuff left out.
For more Bible based info plz feel free to email me.

It's not a question of being afraid to tell anything. Jesus' public ministry began when He was about 30 years of age after He was baptized by John and the Holy Spirit descended and remained on Him. Between His appearance at the temple at about age twelve when He talked with the elders and when His public ministry began the Bible tells us nothing. He lived an ordinary life during that time, growing in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and men and preparing for the day His public ministry would begin.

He studied the Egyptian Gods/Goddesses, the same as Abraham and Moses before him. Then used the knowledge and teachings of those deities to his own ends.

A similar question about the "missing years" of JC was asked some time ago and here is what I answered:
* * * * * * *
This could be the strongest point about the 'hidden agenda' of those who perpetrated to TWEAK the compilation of the Holy Bible by simply ignoring the so-called "missing years" of Yeshua ibn Joseph.
If you study about the ESSENES --the Brotherhood, a clustered community of prophets, visionaries and scribes that banded together since the time of Elijah-- they were the third largest group among the Jewry. The largest groups were the Pharisees, followed closely by the Sadducees, and then by the Essenes. Yet there is NOT ONE SINGLE mention about the Essenes in the Bible. Why is that so??
Simply because that was the very group targeted by the early church [the RCC, who gained power from Constantine] to be OBLITERATED COMPLETELY from the face of the Earth and all historical and recorded references made about them as well as all their writings. The Essenes were the same ones who followed The Law for generations and who "separated" themselves from the rest of the Jewish cities to honor their Nazarite's Vows, which had been institued since the time of Moses...
It was through them that the maiden, Mary --daughter of Anna and Joachim-- was chosen to be the vessel for arrival of the Promised Messiah. There were two known communities of Essenes during that time: one in Nazareth, located at the foothills of Mt. Carmel; and the other in Qumran, high atop the cliffs overlooking the Dead Sea.
Mary, the young maiden, and Joseph, a respected elder and builder of their community both belonged to the community in Nazareth. Her first cousin Elizabeth, and husband Zecheriah --high priest/in-charge of the incense at the Temple in Jerusalem-- lived in Qumran where John the Baptist was born.
As the proclaimed MESSIAH, Savior and King of the Jews, since the time of Anunciation ['the Announcement'] it was already widespread among the Essene communities about His arrival. His Nativity in Bethlehem --House of David, family line of Joseph and Mary-- was well protected by members of the Brotherhood at all times, up to and including their departure to Egypt and safe return back to their town of Nazareth.
I would venture to conjecture the following:
Yeshua's early childhood, or at least His first seven years, were spent with His mother and He obeyed all her laws at home. Between seven years to fourteen years old, He learned His father's trade as a carpenter and began to learn all the Sacred Scriptures [about Him, the Elect One] from the Masters in Mt. Carmel-- the original headquarters of Prophet Elijah and other 100 prophets that followed him since. This would explain why Yeshua/Jesus, at 12, began questioning the practices of the Pharisees and Sadducees at the Temple since, by then, He had already learned the Scriptures for at least five years...
By fourteen years old, He began His own ministry within the community of the Brotherhood and preached to the youth and the new members who were made welcome to join their open communities. By twenty-one years old, He had chosen the few "elects" among His early disciples and was by then known as The Master among the Brotherhood. Between twenty-one and twenty-eight, it is conceivable that He too was happily married as was the Jewish tradition among sons of men. This could also account for the various travels that He has been credited to have made in various places, learning their ways and bringing His message of the SEVENFOLD TEACHING that was given by the Ancient Great Ones who have seen the face of God...
And by the time He was thirty, He began His public ministry to the rest of the Jews outside the Brotherhood.
Presumably, being surrounded by disciples, scribes and elders of the Essene communities, the ENTIRE LIFE OF YESHUA was chronicled and written by at least hundreds, maybe even thousands of those whom The Master had affected... before He began to "choose" His "twelve [public] Apostles" soon after meeting His cousin --another Major Prophet, John the Baptist-- for the first time along the River Jordan.
While I cannot substantiate such conjectures I've made, I prefer to believe that it had happened thusly...
The Holy Bible quotes Him as saying, "Take my yoke [teaching] upon you and LEARN OF ME, for I am meek and lowly in heart... For my yoke is easy and my burden [worldly possessions] is light."
It speaks quite succinctly of the Law of the Brotherhood, which states that "None will be wealthy and none will be poor, and all shall work together in the gardens of the Brotherhood. Yet all shall follow his path, and all shall commune with his heart..."
Peace be with you!
