Luke 2:52 meaning and explanation
And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.
Luke 2:52, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Luke closes the infancy narrative by summarizing Jesus' boyhood in Nazareth after the temple episode, where at twelve he amazed the teachers. The Greek word helikia can mean stature or advancing age, so the verse describes ordinary human development, not a sudden change.
