2:46 The three days probably included one day traveling from Jerusalem, one day traveling back, and one day searching. • in the Temple: He was in the Temple compound, not the sanctuary. • listening to them and asking questions: Jesus was in the role of a student. In rabbinic instruction, a teacher responded to a student’s question with a series of counter-questions. Jesus’ insightful questions and answers amazed the teachers.
