With his family. Probably doing carpentry work.

I love these honest and sincere questions, not only does it show a sincere search for Christ, it also exposes the vipers amongst us in the sarcastic replays.
-
There are over 5600 manuscripts showing the life of Jesus and his miracles. Independent secarlar historians documented his life. Hundreds saw jesus’s glory and said that they couldnt look upon his glory because he was as bright as the sun. Jesus has more written about him than any other being in history.
-
There were around 300 books written. Only 73 were canonised in Catholicism. What Christ did during those years prob exist in the books that were not canonised
-
It doesn’t matter. The Holy Spirit guided the writers of the Gospels what we need to know for salvation. Although the Gospel books are biographical in narrative, their purpose is theological – to learn and bring us to God.
-
why do you need to know?
-
I will ask Him when i see Him face to face?
-
He was at home.
-
If no mention from the Bible leave it…just like biography not all his years are written, only what are significants.
-
Growing up, learning his trade, eating hummus and grilled fish, beating his bro’s up.
-
Why does it matter? If it did it would be in the bible. Let it go move on.
-
No, the Bible is silent, where the Bible is silent, we should be silent.
-
Does it affect your Salvation?
-
Increasing in wisdom and stature, and favor with God and man.

Well we see this when he was 12, “When he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast; and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Yeshua stayed behind in Jerusalem. Joseph and his mother didn’t know it, but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey; and they looked for him amongst their relatives and acquaintances.
Luke 2:42-44 WMBBE -
Israel ??

There’s nothing to write when there’s nothing important .
-
Bro you have to ask this question from Jesus Himself and I am afraid for that you have to die. Whatever is not written in the Bible is only speculations, theories and ideas of our tiny little minds which is often polluted by the worldly thinking. I will be very careful in seeking answers.
-
He was a carpenter he would have been involved with the family business
-
The people knew where he was from and how he spent his time. They were amazed because he was just a local boy:
“Isn’t this the carpenter’s son?”
Matthew 13:55 -
With His parents and learning the Torah.
-
To be more honest with you why dont you ask that question when it comes to other great historical figures? But everyone has too know what teenage Jesus was doing lol
-
Doing the work of His father and being a carpenter like His adopted father Joseph.
-
Working at his father’s shop. J&J carpentry
-
That would be like asking, what did everbody who is written in history do before they were famous enough to enter a history book. The only person people question, is Jesus. Is it because they don’t want to believe in Jesus? Every other account in history is accepted at face value.
-
The best answers is to explore the typical life of the Jews. Jesus was well-known in Nazareth. Therefore he is living a normal life.
-
Of course. He was living with His parents like any other godly Jew who kept the law. He worked as a carpenter while abiding in the presence of His Father.
-
Helping His mom and dad in Nazareth
-
If it was important we would know.
-
I think he was just growing up.
-
On His Throne…!
-
The only thing we can know about God is that which He has chosen to reveal. Where He has chosen to remain silent I will shut my mouth
-
The secret things belong to God
-
He walked to America to bury the golden tablets for Joseph Smith ?
-
We don’t know and it’s best we stop there lest we make assumptions. If GOD wanted us to know this, HE would have revealed it to us.
-
If it’s not recorded not for us to know
-
I can say that between 12 and 30 I was “finishing my education, learning my trade, and plying my profession.” Yeshua….probably the same thing…but…nothing said about it.
His ministry commenced at 30 because that was the minimum age for a priest to commence his ministry. We don’t need to know anything else.
-
in His father’s workshop making carbinets, tables, doors, and benches
-
Living with His mother Mary and Joseph, growing up as a family, just like most of us did during those years in our life
-
He was a carpenter/stone mason like his father. He would have worked in Sepphoris. He would have travelled to Jerusalem at least once a year. He would have spoken Aramaic, some Greek and some Latin. He probably travelled to the sea of Galilee now and then. He probably knew Peter, Andrew, James and John. People want to say he went to other countries but there is no evidence for that. His life would have been very plain and possibly with very little friends.

Nazareth
-
This is what we know. Anything more is speculation.
Luke 2:49-52 49 “Why were you searching for me?” he asked. “Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?”[a] 50 But they did not understand what he was saying to them. 51 Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart. 52 And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.

Israel
-
From Genesis to Revelation His word is complete
-
Luke 2:42, 51-52 (KJV) And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man. -
Why is this question important?
-
Then he went into the Carpentry Apprenticeship Training program of Jerusalem.
-
Luke 4:16. He was brought up in Nazareth. He went to the Synagogue regularly
-
In the Jewish culture, at least of the first century, and to my understanding, Jewish children went to a school attached to their local synagogue up until they were about 12 years old. They learned and memorized the Torah. At the age of 12 they had their bar or bat mitzvah. The girls usually went into marriage. But the boys there were two options. They could go into their father’s business. If their father was a fisherman, they became fishermen, a carpenter, a carpenter, etc.
However, if a boy showed great knowledge and desire to learn more of the scriptures, he would pick a rabbi and follow him. The rabbi would evaluate him, then allow him to follow. The boy became his talmid, or disciple. He would literally live with the rabbi and go wherever he went.
This was a typical situation for most Jewish boys. But what of Jesus. We see Jesus at the temple with the priests when He was 12. This was likely right after His bar mitzvah. When His parents found Him, He said He was about His Father’s business.
Apparently He went home with His earthly parents and worked in His father’s business, His earthly father, until He began to minister.
Another aspect about Jewish culture is that no one had any credibility until they reached the age of 30.
Between 12 to 30, the silent years of Jesus’s life on earth, Jesus was growing and learning as the scriptures say. He was preparing for His mission, His ministry.
