“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.”
Luke 2:51 (KJV)
Commentary on Luke 2:51
Jesus 'went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them.' Despite His divine identity and temple incident, Jesus submitted to His parents' authority. The Greek 'hypotassomenos' (ὑποτασσόμενος, was subject/submissive) indicates continuous voluntary submission. This demonstrates Jesus' full humanity and His perfect obedience to the law, including the fifth commandment to honor parents. His submission doesn't contradict His divine mission but fulfills it—the Son must learn obedience (Hebrews 5:8) and perfectly keep the law He came to fulfill.
