But they did not grasp what he was telling them.
In context
48When his parents saw him they were stunned, and his mother said to him, “Child, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been searching for you in anguish.” 49He said to them, “Why were you searching for me? Did you not know that I had to be in my Father’s house?” 50But they did not grasp what he was telling them. 51Then he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and he was obedient to them. His mother kept all these things in her heart. 52And Jesus advanced in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and with people.
