The Boy Jesus in the Temple | Scripture Story Sketch Notes | Printable PDF

A hand-drawn, doodle-style study of the Boy Jesus in the temple, built around His first recorded words: “wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?” (Luke 2:49).

Follow a numbered map from the Passover road to the workshop in Nazareth, then look closer at the details. Context and two Greek words help, while the focus stays on the Savior.

What's Inside

• Cover with a numbered map and a contents list
• The story, plainly: four scenes, “Look to Him” notes, the hard King James words explained, and a draw-and-write page
• Look closer: nine cards on the feast, the company, three days, the temple, His questions, Mary’s heart, the workshop and growing from grace to grace
• Where are you on the road? Searching, drawn to the temple, full of questions, or growing slowly, with check-ins
• Growing like Jesus: a Luke 2:52 activity with space to draw
• Their world, their words: turning twelve, traveling in companies, learning in the temple, the quiet years, and the Greek words for “increased” and “sorrowing”
• Look to Him: what prophets have taught, with the Book of Mormon alongside
• Seek Him today: His question to Mary, a seven-day tracker, talk-about questions and verses to hold
• Go deeper: summaries and links for adult and deeper study
• Sources: every quotation and gloss cited with links (scripture first, then Church sources, then labeled outside sources)

Perfect For

• Personal and family Come, Follow Me study of Luke 2, youth goal-setting, and lessons on the childhood of Jesus any year
• Family home evening
• Primary, Sunday School, youth and seminary teachers
• Adults who want a deeper, well-sourced study
