According to the New Testament, the temple scholars were amazed by the understanding, insight, and authoritative exposition of spiritual topics by a mere 12 year old boy.
Jesus was talking to the teachers in the temple. (Luke 2:41-49)
Jesus was 12 years old when he was lost in the temple.
Jesus was twelve years old when His parents travelled to Jerusalem for the feast of the Passover. Afterwards, the group departed and travelled a days journey before they realized Jesus was not with them. When they went back to look for Him, they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of doctors, both hearing them and asking questions. When Mary asked Him why has He done this thing Jesus says in Luke 2:49 "How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?''
In the Bible, there are several notable teachers mentioned, including Jesus Christ, who is often referred to as "Rabbi" or "Teacher." Another prominent teacher is Gamaliel, a Pharisee and a member of the Jewish ruling council who taught the apostle Paul. Additionally, there are references to other unnamed teachers and scribes throughout the Old and New Testaments who played important roles in instructing and guiding others in matters of faith and law.
The two people who witnessed the presentation of Jesus in the temple as a baby were Simeon and Anna. Simeon was a devout man who had been promised by God that he would not die before seeing the Messiah, and Anna was a prophetess who recognized Jesus as the Redeemer.
Yes he liked asking and answering questions, we read in the bible when he gets lost in the temple visit, he was asking questins to the teachers, who were amazed by his wisdom on the holy books.
Actually he did not answer Pilots questions, which amazed Pilot.
This man's confidence in Jesus' powers-to heal even from a distance-amazed Jesus. At the same time, he was greatly moved by the man's humility.
Jesus was called a Rabbi meaning "teacher". More than other titles of Jesus, the Jews and His disciples were fond of this title. He went about preaching and teaching the Kingdom of God". As teacher He amazed people with His insights. What differentiated Jesus as a teacher from other teachers of His day was His authority. He spoke with authority.
It was not so much Jesus as his disciples and all the people that were amazed. There is only one reference that I can find at Jesus being amazed: And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy; (Mark 14.33) Although Jesus did marvel, which is akin to being amazed, first at the unbelief of the people of Nazareth, (Mark 6.6), and then at some people of great faith: When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel (Matthew 8.10)
Jesus was talking to the teachers in the temple. (Luke 2:41-49)
In Luke 2:47, it says ..."all who heard Him was astonished and overwhelmed with bewildered wonder at His intelligence and understanding and His replies."
Rabbis
These people are the scribes and Pharisees of Jesus day they were the teachers of Judaism.
At the time that Jesus was here on earth, the jews were closed minded and they didn't want to have someone change all of the rules. Also, everyone believed the teachers of the law and the teachers of the law were not believing what he stood for.
Yes there are false teachers who behave like Jesus to make money.
His incredible faith. The centurion asked Jesus to heal someone back home, claiming that Jesus could do it from right there, and wouldn't even have to travel back with the Centurion. Jesus was so impressed he proclaimed he had never seen a man of greater faith.
