What does the Bible say about the childhood of Jesus?

The Bible primarily focuses not on the historical aspects of Jesus’ life but on His mission as the Redeemer. In Luke 2:40-52, we find a brief glimpse into Jesus' childhood when He, at the age of twelve, accompanies Joseph and Mary to Jerusalem for the Passover. This passage underscores His understanding of His divine purpose, as He responds to His mother by stating that He must be about His Father's business. While many may be curious about His upbringing, Scripture emphasizes His identity and mission rather than His formative years.
