No one can guess exactly the kind of life Jesus had at age 13-30. It was his hidden life and because it was hidden and it was almost 2 thousand years ago, we cannot really say what it was. But of course we can always surmise that he was obedient to his mother and foster father, that he lived an ordinarily human and Jewish life in all things except sin.

The fact is that Jesus had nothing to say before the age of 33yrs, He was busy growing up as any young male and as the Gospels show us His young life led up to this important part of His ministry.
The fact that Jesus was so human is a major problem for so many who cannot see how He was also divine,this divinty He kept pretty well hidden simply because He came to serve and not be served as would have been the case if His divine nature was obvious to one and all.

He led a normal life for the times. Helped His father in the family business and as there were younger brothers and sisters coming at a steady pace, I'm sure He had obligations there as well.
At nineteen He lost Joseph and had the responsibility of the whole clan.
His ministry didn't begin until about the time his younger ones were able to fend for themselves.
He spent a lot of time in the synagogue listening and reading the scrolls. He was known as a Rabbi even before His ministry began.

Jesus was living quietly in Nazareth until it was time to begin his public life ... because Nazareth was just about the only place the forces of evil didn't think to look for him ... because there were no prophecies in the scriptures, pertaining to Nazareth.

Well, of course he had a Bar Mitzvah, nothing fancy, just some schnapps and cake at Beth Nazareth Synagogue.
As he grew up, he went to study from Rabbi Joshua . While in Egypt, he got involved in Black Magic, which enabled him to do some pretty cool things, like turning water into wine (remember the plague of blood? The Egyptian magicians did it too.), walking on water, etc.
He smuggled some out by cutting his skin and hiding the spells underneath it to prevent Egyptian customs officers from finding it.
Later, he used his magic tricks to attract a following. His teacher, Rabbi Joshua tried to get him to repent.
He refused, replying, "I received the following tradition from you: `A person who sins and causes others to sin is not given the opportunity to repent.'"
He was eventually condemned as a heretic and put to death. He was hanged for a brief time, then buried in a shallow grave.
The farmer whose field it was decided he didn't want the body there and tossed it into the local garbage dump. When his followers came to the burial site he was gone, hence the "resurrection."
Oops, I'm sorry. Did I dispel some myths?

actually we have the same question, what happened to Him on that years of His life...
but the Bilble chose to be silent about it and we dont have the right to question God why.
it's not that the Bible is incomplete but Jn.21:25 says if we write everything in it,even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.
so it is enough for me now to understand why it doesn't written about it.

During that period he was a raging alcoholic with fifteen illegitimate children and a rap sheet longer than my arm. For some reason, that bit got edited out of the Bible...
