The boy was named Jesus. He was happily growing under the loving care of mother Mary. When he grew up as a boy, Joseph and Mary had to travel to Jerusalem to participate in a festival. Jesus got lost in the crowd and could not be traced inspite of an intensive search. The parents were very worried. At last, Jesus returned to his parents. When enquired where he had gone, he replied that he went to hear the discourse of a priest in a nearby temple. The priest had taught him “You alone are the truth; remember this.” Constantly contempla-ting on this teaching, Jesus thereafter wandered and wandered alone for a long time and later came near a river, where some boatmen were sitting. The first among them seen by Jesus was Peter. Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He replied, “My name is Peter. He is my father” (pointing to an old man sitting nearby). The old man was making fishing nets. Jesus made friendship with Peter. Peter complained to Jesus, “We went in search of fish for the whole of yesterday, but could not find even one.” Jesus then told him, “You go to such and such place. You will find fish in plenty.” Jesus also accompanied the boatmen in this exercise. As foretold by Jesus, they could catch plenty of fish. The boatmen wondered, “How great Jesus is! He knows everything.” From then on, they treated Jesus as their preceptor.
