The story of Jesus getting lost in the temple at the age of 12 is found in the Bible, specifically in the New Testament, in the book of Luke (Luke 2:41-52). Here is a description of the event:

According to the biblical account, Jesus' family, including Mary and Joseph, traveled to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover festival. After the festival, as they were returning home, they realized that Jesus was not with them in the caravan. Concerned, Mary and Joseph searched for Him among their relatives and acquaintances but couldn't find Him.

They eventually returned to Jerusalem to look for Jesus there. After three days of searching, they found Him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. Those who heard Him were amazed at His understanding and answers. Mary expressed her concern and said to Him, "Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been searching for you in great distress."

In response, Jesus said, "Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?" This statement indicated His awareness of His divine mission and relationship with God.

Mary and Joseph didn't fully understand what Jesus meant, but they took Him back to Nazareth, where He continued to grow in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.

This event is often referred to as "The Finding of Jesus in the Temple" and is significant as an early glimpse into Jesus' understanding of His divine purpose and his connection to God.
