[matt66]

What about jesus aged between 5-20 when he grew up as a jew. How much is known/written about this time.

The only fact printed in the Gospels is that when He was twelve his parents took him to Jerusalem to celebrate Passover. When they left the city to return home Jesus went back to the Temple where he astonished the Jewish teachers with his knowledge. His parents thought He was lost, were worried and came looking for him. He said "Don't worry. I must be about my father's business." He then returned home with them.

Not much is known about his teen years as he spent most of this period in his bedroom.

you'll have to wait for the prequels

He grew his hair long and became self-righteous, same as most teenagers.
He didn't grow out of it though....

His brothers and sisters picked on him, and it didn't seem appropriate to include in the bible tales of our lord as a weedy little squirt. And if the brothers and sisters reference has confused you, read Matthew again - Jesus was a middle child, so virgin my backside.

It is instructive, however to read Mark 6: 1 to 4... "He departed from there and came to his native place, (1) accompanied by his disciples.
(2) When the sabbath came he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astonished. They said, "Where did this man get all this? What kind of wisdom has been given him? What mighty deeds are wrought by his hands!
Is he not the carpenter, (3) the son of Mary, and the brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him.
(4)Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his native place and among his own kin and in his own house."

This (also in Matthew 13:55) indicates all the neighbors knew Yeshua since his youth, and were "astonished" at his abilities, especially in the area of Scriptural knowledge and teaching...
