Jesus knew about His mission at a young age but noone else did. Documentation has to be present if something is to be valid.

What about Mary and Elizabeth? they knew he had a divine mission and was the son of God. the Gospel of Luke and Mathew both note that.

If we can't trust that God gave us reliable information in "today's Bible" concerning this issue then how can we trust anything that the Bible says on any issue? What language must we speak before we can trust that what we are reading is God's Word?

If the Bible can't be trusted (the King James being the most reliable version) then we may as well read Stephen King novels.

John the Baptist knew that Jesus would come after him. The archangel, Gabriel, visited Joseph and Mary before Christ was born...he knew what was to come. After Gabriel spoke with Joseph and Mary, they knew that Jesus was the Son of God. The wise men followed a star to locate the baby Jesus...they knew that something important was about to happen. Even King Herod knew something was up else he would not have had all the male babies of a certain age killed hoping to kill the coming King.

Jesus was 100% man and 100% God. He was not "just like you and I" since we were born in sin and He was born sinless. He had to be sinless else His sacrifice on the cross would be insufficient. He was the Lamb without blemish. His sacrifice was perfect for He was perfect.

Sir, in the first place, it would be impossible for the Scriptures to address every issue. I think the more important issue for us is to pray and study to gain understanding of the things the Lord would want us to know. As an example; to me, it's more important just to know that He Lives, and that He's seated at the Right hand of God making intercession for all of His children.
My best guess (which I don't really like to do) is that Jesus' early life was not recorded so that when He entered His public ministry the day John baptized
him in the river Jordan...
his impact on the world would be mind-boggling. His first miracle was at the marriage of Cana where He turned water into wine. It was a miracle in that grapes will turn into wine which is in the natural course of nature. Turning water into wine however, is a suspension of the ordinary course of nature which is what makes it a miracle. I hope this helps!
