In Luke 2:41-52 we are told about Jesus at 12 years old. Mary and Joseph would travel to Jerusalem every year to celebrate Passover. This was the celebration to commemorate the Hebrew slaves leaving Egypt, which was led by Moses.
The temple was a very important place for devout Jews and the daily sacrifices were held there as well as the sacrifices for the Passover. The Pharisee's, Sadducee's, Scribes and the teacher's would gather there often to talk about the Old Testament Law. Jesus entered into their conversations and not only asked questions but answered questions astounding these learned men.

AnswerThere was only one Jewish Temple, the Temple in Jerusalem. So, this would have been the only Jewish temple that Jesus visited. According to John's Gospel, Jesus also seems to have visited a temple to the Greek god of healing, Asclepius - the five-sided pool near the sheep market at Jerusalem. Archaeologists have identified this pool and say that it was part of an Asclepium. they have even found, at the temple, a votive offering to Aslepius - a gift in thanks for a cure performed by the god.
No Jesus was not gambling at the Temple at age 12. Luke 2: 41-50 tells us that every year Joseph and Mary and Jesus would travel to Jerusalem for the Passover. When Jesus was there at age 12, His parents missed Him in their company on the way home to Nazareth. Returning to Jerusalem they found Jesus in the Temple, listening to and asking questions of the teachers there. Jesus even at age 12 would not gamble and there was no gambling in the temple.
Jesus was 12 years old when his parents lost him during their pilgrimage to Jerusalem. They found him discussing and listening to the teachers in the temple.
After Jesus was 12 years, he got lost in the temple for three days.
There is no record in the Bible that I can see of anyone visiting Jesus Mary and Joseph 12 days after Jesus' birth. The only visitors to them all that seem to be recorded, are the three wise men and the shepherds, who visited them in the cattle shed just after the child was born.
One possibility: We visited the temple where many visitors like to go.
The three wise men, also known as the Magi, were said to have visited baby Jesus first after following a star to Bethlehem. They brought gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh to honor and celebrate his birth.
Jesus preached mostly in the temple at Jerusalem at the beginning and at the end of his earthly ministry. He also preached in Jerusalem to the scribes in the temple when he was 12 years old.
Jesus was visited by the 3 wise men who brought him gifts of Myrrh, Frankincense and gold.
Yes, at the age of 12 Jesus wandered off from his parents and was listening to the teachers at the temple, also speaking to them; they were impressed with his knowledge. Also, after the death of John the Baptist, Jesus overturned the moneychangers' tables in the temple, thus angering them and prompting their decision to kill Him.
12 years old
Jesus was likely around 40 days old when he was presented at the temple in Jerusalem, following the Jewish tradition outlined in the Old Testament (Luke 2:22-24).
