Luke 2:52

Context

1 tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 sn There was wonder (all who heard…were astonished) that Jesus at such a young age could engage in such a discussion. The fact that this story is told of a preteen hints that Jesus was someone special.
