Barnes's Luke 2:50 Bible Commentary

They understood not ... - It is remarkable that they did not understand Jesus in this, but it shows how slow persons are to believe. Even his parents, after all that had taken place, did not seem to comprehend that "he" was to be the Saviour of people, or if they did, they understood it in a very imperfect manner.

Wesley's Luke 2:50 Bible Commentary

2:50 It is observable that Joseph is not mentioned after this time; whence it is probable, he did not live long after.
