"Christ among the Doctors" is a subject in Christian art that depicts the youthful Jesus in the Temple in Jerusalem, conversing with the teachers of the law. The event is described in the Gospel of Luke, where it is recorded that at the age of twelve, Jesus was left behind in Jerusalem after a pilgrimage to the city with his parents. He was later found in the Temple, sitting among the teachers and asking them questions, which amazed those who heard him. The scene is seen as a prefiguration of Jesus' later ministry and is interpreted as an early sign of his divine nature.
