Every year Jesus' parents went to Jerusalem for the Festival of the Passover. 42 When he was twelve years old, they went up to the festival, according to the custom. 43 After the festival was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it. 44 Thinking he was in their company, they traveled on for a day. Then they began looking for him among their relatives and friends. 45 When they did not find him, they went back to Jerusalem to look for him. 46 After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 47 Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48 When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you."

49 "Why were you searching for me?" he asked. "Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house?"[f] 50 But they did not understand what he was saying to them.

51 Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart. 52 And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.

When were the deaths of Jesus Mary and Joseph?

The Scripture only speaks very briefly about Joseph and only briefly about Mary. The Gospel accounts are about Jesus and that does not directly state a date. We know from Scripture that both Joseph and Mary were alive when Jesus was in Jerusalem during the Passover at 12 years of age. We know Mary is still alive when Jesus begins and ends His Ministry at age 30 but Joseph is not mentioned. So it is reasonable to assume Joseph died between Jesus' 12th and 30th birthdays (circa 27 AD). Mary, is given to the charge of the youngest Apostle John at the Crucifixion circa 31 AD. Tradition holds she dies in her early 60s. As Jesus is said to be 30 years of age at the start of His 3 1/2 year ministry, He would have been 33-34 years of age at His death and resurrection. As He is eternal as John 1:1-3 states, He is alive and at the right hand of the Father now.


Who lived longer Mary or Joseph?

Why was Joseph so much older than Jesus mother?

Because he had to establish himself as a carpenter and be successful enough to afford a wife. It is believed by most that Mary was in her mid teen years when she carried and gave birth to Emmanuel, God with us, Jesus Christ. Joseph is not heard from after Jesus is age 12. Jesus gave his mother to John when he was on the cross which wouldn't have happened if Joseph was still alive as she was to live in John's house.


Was Jesus gambling in a temple at 12?

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.
