What was Jesus doing for the first 30 years of his life?

[Jack Ryan]

30 years is a long time in the life of a human yet little is written about this time frame,l wonder why?

Growing up as a perfect boy

“Jesus’ parents also recognized their responsibility as regards discipline. True, during his prehuman existence, Jesus had always been obedient. But while on earth, he learned to be obedient under entirely new circumstances. For one thing, he had to obey imperfect parents because even a perfect child needs discipline in the form of instruction and education. This his parents provided. Discipline in the form of punishment, on the other hand, was unnecessary. Jesus always obeyed; he never had to be told twice. We read: “Then he went home with them [his parents] to Nazareth and was obedient to them.”—Luke 2:51, Phillips.”*** w92 10/1 p. 27 Learn Obedience by Accepting Discipline ***

 

Luke 2:51) Then he went down with them and returned to Nazʹa·reth, and he continued subject to them. Also, his mother carefully kept all these sayings in her heart.

 

The Carpenter’s son

"It seems likely that Mary’s husband, Joseph, had already died. If so, Mary was no stranger to loss. Jesus was now called not only “the carpenter’s son” but also “the carpenter.” Evidently, Jesus had taken over his father’s business and had assumed the role of provider for the family, which included at least six children who were born after him. (Matthew 13:55, 56; Mark 6:3) Even if Jesus had been training James—likely the next oldest son—to carry on the trade, the departure of the eldest would not be easy for the family. Mary already bore a heavy load; did she dread this transition? We can only guess. But here is a more important question: How would she respond when Jesus of Nazareth became Jesus Christ, the long-promised Messiah? One Bible account reveals something in that regard.—John 2:1-12"

What else transpired is not necessary to know

 

 (John 21:25) There are also, in fact, many other things that Jesus did, which if ever they were written in full detail, I suppose the world itself could not contain the scrolls written.

 

(1 Corinthians 4:6) ⁶ Now, brothers, these things I have applied to myself and A·polʹlos for your good, that through us you may learn the rule: “Do not go beyond the things that are written,” so that you may not be puffed up with pride, favoring one against the other.

 

(2 Timothy 3:16, 17) All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, ¹⁷ so that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.

30 years  is  nothings  to  everlasting  life !  Many  things  not  written  in  the  Bible,  its  not  importend  for  us  knowing  that...  Look  more  forward  and  not  always  back - nobody  can  give  you  the  right  answers,  we're  all  imperfect !  Ask  Jehovah  in  Paradise,  then  you  will  get  the  perfect  answers  of  all...  if  its  still  relevant  for  you !  Jesus  also  didn't  give  his  apostles  all  answers - thats  not  needful !
