This early in Jesus’ life the Evangelist wants us to know that Jesus is on a mission from his Father, that his eyes are on that mission, that the journey to Jerusalem that is so much part of Luke’s Gospel is foreshadowed in these incidents and that all he is and does are completely focused on  the mission that absorbs him. That’s why he is “about his Father’s business”.

About the Speaker: Father Michael Kelly is a Jesuit priest and English language publisher of the respected Jesuit periodical, La Civilta Cattolica.
