Transcript
00:00And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.
00:08That's all the New Testament has to say about Jesus, from ages 12 to 30.
00:15My parents, my brother and I, we went to church every time the doors were open,
00:20Sunday morning for Bible school and worship service, Sunday evening, Wednesday evening.
00:26I would ask my Sunday school teachers, well, what happened during that 18 years that was covered by just one verse?
00:35And the Bible school teachers would just basically say, well, God does not want us to know about that.
00:43This is a quest to find out what really happened during what Christians call the missing or hidden years of Jesus.
00:52It's a search that took us to experts on three continents.
00:57At a monastery in the Himalayas, an ancient manuscript was found in 1887 by a Russian explorer, Nicholas Notovitch.
01:05It provides one account of Jesus' missing years.
01:09Legends have it that Jesus lived a long time in northern India and Kashmir.
01:14It's certainly possible that Jesus traveled to India.
01:17One can't outrule it because we just don't know.
01:20An investigator becomes an outcast and risks his life in search of an answer.
01:36Whenever a human being sets out to find the real truth about something,
01:41he or she must arm himself with great courage because he may not find what he wants to find.
01:47I have heard that Jesus was in Kashmir.
01:50He just came to Kashmir.
01:52It's false.
01:53It's an invention that they were then sent to.
01:55I was not trying to step on any toes or find any hot potatoes.
02:02I was not trying to find anything controversial.
02:05I just wanted to answer the question in my own mind.
02:08Where was Jesus during the missing years?
02:11What was he doing?
02:12I just wanted to know.
02:13He's all wrong.
02:14He's all wrong.
02:15He's all wrong.
02:16He's all wrong.
02:17I made him take a look and he's all wrong.
