Increase

 Blue  v47, 52  Ch 2  Luke

v47  And all who heard Jesus were astonished at His understanding (4907) and answers.

sunesis #4907=literally a "putting together" or the critical faculty for apprehending a matter clearly and quickly.  It is the ability to intelligently assess the situation. 

Understanding has two applications~
sunesis, which judges and is the analyzing/discerning side of our mind
phronesis, which acts and is the practical side of our mind.

Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men (v52).

{Jesus is God.  God knows everything.  Jesus is also Man.  Now use your understanding to figure out what verse 52 is referring to.  What example is He setting here to follow?}
