Luke's Gospel presents this as evidence of Jesus' thorough religious knowledge. Interestingly, Josephus also wrote in his Autobiography that he too questioned and amazed the pharisees and scribes at about the same age. Since it appears that the author of Luke's Gospel did borrow some other ideas from Josephus, it is possible that this passage was inspired by Josephus, but it is also possible that this was a common boast by proud parents around the beginning of the first century.

How did Christians and Jews differ in their beliefs about Jesus and his teachings?

Christians believe that Jesus was the Messiah predicted by the Jewish Bible (Old Testament) and that Jesus was, is and shall be the Incarnation, one of three aspects of a triune God. Prayer must be addressed to God through Jesus, and worship of God includes singing praises to Jesus. Thus, the existence and sayings of Jesus are of cosmic importance.Jews do not particularly care about Jesus, although the Christian New Testament does bear witness to the age of some elements of the Jewish liturgy that got written down there before any Jewish sources recorded them. Jews completely reject the idea of a divine incarnation -- the belief in an incarnate God is seen as entirely and completely idolatrous. Jews who have studied the Gospels tend to most of what Jesus taught to be in line with the teachings of the more liberal school of the Pharisees, the school of Rabbi Hillel. Most of Jesus tirades against the Pharisees sound like what other Pharisees in that school had to say about their opponents in the school of Rabbi Shamai, a school of strict legalists. They also note that either Jesus or his followers who edited the Gospels believed that Jesus was the Messiah, but they note that there were others who claimed to be or were proclaimed to be the Messiah in that era. Jesus's conception of the Messiah does seem radically more spiritual and less military than the claims of the others.
