From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 51. Went down with them. Down from Jerusalem, which was in a high, mountainous region. Was subject unto them. Performed the duty of a faithful and obedient child, and not improbably was engaged in the trade of Joseph--- that of a carpenter. Every Jew was required to learn some trade, and there is every reason to think that our Saviour followed that of his reputed father. And from this we learn-- 1. That obedience to parents is a duty. Jesus has set an example in this that all children should follow.
