35
(even [G2532] you [G1473] and [G1161], your [G1473] the [G3588] soul [G5590] will go through [G1330] a broadsword], [G4501]) so that [G3704] should be uncovered [G1537] of many [G4183] hearts [G2588] thoughts [G1261].

45
And [G2532] not [G3361] finding [G2147] him [G1473], they returned [G5290] unto [G1519] Jerusalem seeking [G2212] him [G1473].

48
And [G2532] seeing [G1492] him [G1473], they were overwhelmed [G1605]. And [G2532] to [G4314] him [G1473] the [G3588] his mother [G3384][G1473] said [G2036], Child [G5043], why [G5100] did you [G4160] so to us [G1473][G3779]? look [G2400], the [G3588] father [G3962] of you [G1473] and I [G2504] were grieving [G3600] seeking [G2212] you [G1473].
49
And [G2532] he said [G2036] to [G4314] them [G1473], Why [is it [G5100] that [G3754] you seek [G2212] me [G1473], do you not [G3756] know [G1492] that [G3754] among [G1722] the [things] [G3588] of the [G3588] father [G3962] of me [G1473] it is necessary [G1163] for me to be [G1473]?

And [G2532] they [G1473] did not [G3756] perceive [G4920] the [G3588] saying [G4487] which [G3739] he spoke [G2980] to them [G1473].
51
And [G2532] he went down [G2597] with [G3326] them [G1473] and [G2532] came [G2064] into [G1519] Nazareth, and [G2532] he was being submitted [G5293] to them [G1473]. And [G2532] the [G3588] his mother [G3384][G1473] kept carefully [G1301] all [G3956] the [G3588]se sayings [G4487][G3778] in [G1722] the [G3588] her heart [G2588][G1473].
