• in the Temple: He was in the Temple compound, not the sanctuary.
• listening to them and asking questions: Jesus was in the role of a student. In rabbinic instruction, a teacher responded to a student’s question with a series of counter-questions. Jesus’ insightful questions and answers amazed the teachers.
Note 1 topic: writing-newevent
καὶ ἐγένετο
and ˱it˲_became
Luke uses this phrase to introduce a new event in the story. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for introducing a new event.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ
in the temple
Since only priests could enter the temple building, this implicitly means the temple courtyard. Luke is using the word for the entire building to refer to one part of it. Alternate translation: “in the temple courtyard”
ἐν μέσῳ τῶν διδασκάλων
in in /the/_midst ˱of˲_the teachers
Alternate translation: “among the teachers” or “surrounded by the teachers”
τῶν διδασκάλων
˱of˲_the teachers
Alternate translation: “the religious teachers” or “the experts in the Jewish law” or “those who taught people about God”
