Summary
In this episode of Catholic Answers Live, we explore a fascinating Gospel mystery: When Jesus began His public ministry, did anyone recognize Him as the same child who once astonished the elders in the Temple? We dig into Scripture and tradition to consider whether that moment left a lasting impression—and why the Gospels remain silent on this point.

Questions Covered:
- 05:06 – Did Jesus change when he was incarnated?
- 18:54 – I married a convert but was married under the conduction that he would receive the rest of his sacraments after marriage. He hasn’t done it. Am I sinning by going to communion since he hasn’t fulfilled that?
- 24:13 – Can you expound on Mary being the new Eve?
- 36:53 – Is there any indication that anybody recognizes the adult Jesus as the child who impressed the elders at the temple when his parents lost him?
- 45:18 – Why isn’t it required that the Church give you the option to receive under both species?
