This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Luk 2:48. Πρὸς αὐτὸν, to Him) This expression, inasmuch as it is in the beginning of the clause, is emphatic. To Him she ought not to have spoken so.-ἡ μήτηρ, His mother) Joseph did not speak: the tie which bound the mother to Him was stronger.-εἶπε, said) publicly before all.-τί) What? not Why? What hast thou done for us[32] by this way of acting [His conduct]?-ὀδυνώμενοι, sorrowing) No doubt the heart of Mary turned over and revolved many things in thought during these three days. Comp. Luk 2:35.

[32] “Quid nobis confecisti?” implying that He had effected nothing by the delay, but the giving of trouble to His parents.-ED.
