The Bible is largely silent about Jesus between the ages of 12 and 30. Various sources offer conflicting claims, insisting Jesus trained under an Essene teacher, traveled to India, was mentored by Hindu healers, lived in a Tibetan monastery, studied Buddhism, or joined a “Secret Brotherhood” in Heliopolis, Egypt. After hearing the evidence, you’ll be able to determine if there is any validity to these stories or if He simply remained in Nazareth until announcing His ministry in the synagogue.
