b greekers-
Edgar, you asked

 Exactly what was Jesus doing in the temple (EN
TWi hIERWi) when Luke records that the twelve year old was in the midst
of the teachers AKOUNTA AUTWN KAI EPERWTWNTA AUTOUS?

Jesus parents took him to the Temple for the first time because His
13th birhtday was drawing nigh. It was the tradition at that time that
as your Bar Mitzva comes you are required to go to the temple yourself
your parents can't go for you but because you are now a "son of the Law"
the resposibility(sic) of the law is upon you.
