What Happens in this Episode?

This week’s Jesus Stories introduces us to the first people who met or wanted to meet Jesus. Two of them met Jesus in the Temple and praised and prophesied about him. A third person – an evil ruler – sought to kill him; while magi came from afar to worship him and bring him gifts. Then we meet Jesus as a twelve year old giving his parents the scare of their life-time.
