Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Luke 2:43

_ _ as they returned — If the duties of life must give place to worship, worship, in its turn, must give place to them. Jerusalem is good, but Nazareth is good, too; let him who neglects the one, on pretext of attending to the other, ponder this scene.

_ _ tarried behind ... Joseph and his mother knew not — Accustomed to the discretion and obedience of the lad [Olshausen], they might be thrown off their guard.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Luke 2:41-52.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Luke 2:43

The child Jesus — St. Luke describes in order Jesus the fruit of the womb, Luke 1:42; an infant, Luke 2:12; a little child, Luke 2:40; a child here, and afterward a man. So our Lord passed through and sanctified every stage of human life. Old age only did not become him.
