So Jesus' mother and father are good Jewish parents,
-
they do exactly what the law tells them to do,
-
and Jesus is a good Jewish boy,
-
so another clue here,
-
"As was his custom,"
-
This is like Jesus goes to temple every Saturday.
-
Look also, "The spirit of the Lord,"
-
he says in verse 18, he cites the text,
-
"The spirit of the Lord is upon me
-
because he has anointed me
-
to bring good news to the poor."
