Luke
When Mary and Joseph find Jesus in the temple, he asks why they were looking for him. He says they should have known he must be in his Father’s house (or about his Father’s affairs). Luke presents this as Jesus’ own explanation of why he remained in the temple (Luke 2:48–49).
48When they saw him, they were astonished, and his mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us this way? Behold, your father and I were anxiously looking for you."
49He said to them, "Why were you looking for me? Didn`t you know that I must be in my Father`s house?"
