where did jesus go when he was around 12?

Answer 1

according to our professor that i asked he probably went to the group of pagans with john...or he probably joined the group of the essenes or the piouhs ones...then when he turned 13 he went back...

Answer 2

There's a record where 12-year old Jesus tarried behind his parents on their way home from Jerusalem and found him later among the teachers of the temple speaking to them with wisdom. (Luke 2:42-47)

Jesus was a carpenter before he was baptized and started teaching. The Jews were witnesses to that and they were offended of him because he was a lowly carpenter as his father Joseph and yet he's teaching much wisdom than the anyone else in the temple.
Mark 6:3
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.

Answer 3

This question has been asked by so many people already to our preacher, Bro. Eli Soriano.

There are those who spreads gossips that Jesus went to this place and study this thing, etc.

Their gossips are false.

What Jesus did and where he is during his 12th age up to the time that he started preaching is recorded in the bible. YES, IT'S IN THE BIBLE.

Let's read John 7:15

"And the Jews marveled, saying, “How does this Man know letters, having never studied?”

You have to notice this statement by the Jews during his time.

If they did not see what Jesus did during his twelveth years of age up to this time, how could they conclude that he never studied?

Their statement implies that they have seen Jesus: what he was doing, what his job was, where he stayed. Otherwise, they could not have made that conclusion (John 7:15).

To prove that further, let's read Mark 6:3

"Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?” So they were offended at Him."

See? They know that Jesus was a carpenter, helping his father in flesh, Joseph in carpentry.

I hope that enlightens you.

Remember, we must learn from the apostles not to go beyond the things which were written:

1 Corinthians 4:6

"Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that you may learn in us not to think beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up on behalf of one against the other."

Answer 4

He was hanging out with some rabbis at a local temple. His parents freaked out, went looking for Him, and found Him at the temple.

They told Jesus they were worried about His whereabouts. Jesus then tells them that they shouldn't be worried because He was there to do His Father's Work.

Answer 5

Luke 2:43
After the Feast was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it.

Answer 6

to a party at the synagogue. Everybody else was leaving, and he went to Temple to go teach the Torah. ROFL.

Seriously though, that's the only thing in scripture that is recorded about his childhood. He was hanging out in church.

Answer 7

It's in the book 'The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ' by Levi.

Note - also, he wanted nothing to do with the Essenes when they invited him to stop by... the Essenes were basically a wacko sect...

Answer 8

To the temple, the "house of his father," where after searching for awhile, Mary found him talking to the church elders.

Answer 9

I am assuming you mean the time he got lost for awhile. Anyway.... his mom thought he was with his dad, his dad thought he was with his mom, then they eventually figured out that he was missing. After a search, they found him in the temple.

Answer 10

Glastonbury with his Uncle Joseph of Arimathea.
