#12228 Did Anyone Recognize Jesus from His Childhood at the Temple? - Tim Staples

Catholic Answers Live

In this episode of Catholic Answers Live, we explore a fascinating Gospel mystery: When Jesus began His public ministry, did anyone recognize Him as the same child who once astonished the elders in the Temple? We dig into Scripture and tradition to consider whether that moment left a lasting impression—and why the Gospels remain silent on this point.
