When they did not find him, they turned back to Jerusalem, still searching.
In context
43After the days were over and they started home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, and his parents did not know it. 44Supposing he was somewhere in the caravan, they traveled a day before they began looking for him among their relatives and acquaintances. 45When they did not find him, they turned back to Jerusalem, still searching. 46After three days they found him in the temple, seated among the teachers, listening to them and putting questions to them. 47Everyone who heard him was astounded at his understanding and at his answers.
