Jesus, after returning from Egypt with His mother and step father, grew up in Nazareth. He lived the life of the son of a carpenter and was of no repute until His ministry began in earnest. This is not surprising for Hebrew men of His day and age. Most Rabbis didn't begin their ministries until about thirty years of age, since that was at that age that custom recognized them as real adult men and worthy of wisdom through study.
The scriptures tell us that Jesus spent His time studying the scriptures and learning and growing knowledge and wisdom. He was an unknown until His public ministry started at His baptism and declaration in the Temple with the words of Isaiah where Jesus announced that the year of Jubilee had come and that scripture had been fulfilled in their hearing.
