Best Answer

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.

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.
