Question: How old was Jesus when he ran away from his parents to talk to the teachers of Jerusalem?
Answer: Twelve. (Luke 2:42)
Comments: The incident in which Jesus is found discussing the finer points of Scripture with the Jerusalem teachers is the only canonical incident of Jesus' life depicted from the time he was two until the time he hit 30. Some have jokingly cited this as proof that even Jesus had turbulent teen years.
And when He became twelve, they went up there according to the custom of the Feast; (Luke 2:42, NASB)
