No, Jesus was from birth to 23 as far as we know.
A logical assumption would be that he was apprenticed to his father or a relative to take up ta trade.
Less creditable proposals are that he joined the Essenes, a religious group and studied with them.
Even less creditable is the thought that he visited India and studied Buddhism.
But for truly strange you have to refer to the stories of Jesus' life which were common in the Middle Ages. These were written up as the Protoevangelium of James.There was also a mass of popular fables and miracle stories which captivated the minds of the Middle Ages and have come down to us as the "Infancy Gospels." In these tales Jesus come across as a combination "Dennis the Menace" and Superman.
A:
In Luke's Gospel, he was brought up and Nazareth in Galilee, where he probably helped his father and learnt to be a carpenter. Each year, he accompanied his parents to Jerusalem for the Passover celebrations. It was on one of these trips, when he was twelve years old, that he became lost (Luke 2:41-43).
In Matthew's Gospel, he was taken by his parents to Egypt soon after birth, for fear of King Herod, who wished to have him killed. They remained there, probably some years, until Herod had died, then began the return journey to Bethlehem. Being warned of further danger in Judea, which was now ruled by Herod's son Archelaus, they turned aside toGalilee and settled in a city called Nazareth (Matthew 2:22-23). Archelaus ruled for six years after his father's death, so Jesus could not have travelled to Jerusalem each year for the Passover; nevertheless he was probably taught, both in Egypt and in Nazareth, the craft of a carpenter.
John Shelby Spong (Born of a Woman: A Bishop Rethinks the Birth of Jesus) says neither account contains any historical truth, so we do not really know what Jesus was doing in the years between his birth and the age of twelve.

What do you mean by 6 BC?

What does A D mean in dates?
The AD stands for After Death in reference to Jesus Christ. ie a date like 200 bc means 200 years before the birth of Jesus Christ, and 2000 ad means 2000 years after Jesus Christ`s death. AD is a Latin term "Anno Domini" meaning "the Year of Our Lord" and references Jesus' birth not his death. So 2000 a.d. means 2000 years after Jesus' birth not after his death. And 100 b.c. means 100 years before Jesus birth. So time was divided by the birth of Jesus alone not his birth and his death. Events are considered happening before his birth or after his birth. AD doesn't have anything to do with Jesus' death.

What is the meaning of anno domini sistem?
"Anno Domini" means "Year of Our Lord" in Latin. The Lord refered to is Jesus Christ and for the purposes of dating it is assumed (in this system) that The year 1 AD is the date of Jesus Christ's birth although many modern historians have suggested alternative dates. This sytem was popularised by Bede. The dates are simple to understand, the present is the year AD 2009 or 2009 AD, which literally means 2009 years after the birth of Jesus Christ. Dates before the birth of Jesus Christ are give the appelation BC (before Christ) and the larger the number the further before the year 1 AD it is. So 2 years before the birth of Jesus Christ would be 2 BC but 1000 BC is 1000 years before the birth of Jesus Christ.

How is it related to the birth of Jesus Christ?
Sorry, but you don't specify, 'what' you want to know about. But, I can assume it is probably about the date, or christmas.Date wise: 'BC'Such as 100BC, is a timing system. Right now, we are in 2011 AD, and 2,011 years ago, we were in 0AD. 2 years before that, we were in 2BC, and 2 years before that, in 4BC. This is all based around the birth of Jesus. BC stands for 'Before Christ'... And so, it has been, exactly, 2,011 years since Jesus was born.Christmas:What does Christmas have to do with Jesus' birth? Everything! Christmas (combined from 'Christ' and 'Mass') celebrates the birth of Jesus, and we give presents to each other, because that is what happened to Jesus, on the day of his birth.
Where does the bible say that there was no fresh revelation for 400 years?
The Bible does not say this, but most Christians presume it is so, because there were no Scriptures written for about 400 years after the book of Malachi and until the birth of Jesus Christ.
Why does the dates go backwards in BC?
years were numbered to count backward to indicate the number of years an event had occurred “before Christ” or “B.C.”
