BBC Radio 4 - Joseph and the Three Gifts - An Angel's Story by Brian Sibley, 4. The Second Gift

Back in Nazareth the baby, Jesus, starts to grow up.

Mary, Joseph and 12 year-old Jesus travel to Jerusalem to celebrate Passover. On the way back Jesus is missing. They retrace their steps. And discover something extraordinary.

Carpenter Joseph, his foster-son Jesus now growing up, is unprepared for the confusion of the past to come crashing into his and Mary’s life. But Joseph now knows what he must do with that second precious gift.
