Teaching Notes
After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
Luke 2:46
The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.
Colossians 1:15-16
Paradox:
Jesus was a “know it all”, who asked others what they knew.

The next day John was there again with two of his disciples. When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!” When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus. Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, “What do you want?” They said, “Rabbi” (which means “Teacher”), “where are you staying?” “Come,” he replied, “and you will see.” So they went and saw where he was staying, and they spent that day with him. It was about four in the afternoon.
John 1:35-42
Ζητέω zēteō - seek; desire, demand, attempt to find,
Jesus is using quest language.
