Lk. 2:51: Then He went with them and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them, but His mother kept all these things in her heart.
Again, Luke alone records this element because he is the one who has special interest in the humanity of Yeshua. These two verses summarize the development for Yeshua from the age of twelve until roughly the age of thirty.
Lk. 2:52: And Yeshua increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
This is a parallel description of Samuel in the Old Testament (I Samuel 2:26). We are told that He developed in four areas: (1) wisdom (mental development; (2) stature (physical development); (3) in favor with God (spiritual development); and (4) in favor with man (social development).
