*
And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished (
5681 ),
they brought (
5627 )
him to Jerusalem ,
to present (
5658 )
him to the Lord ;
* (
As it is written (
5769 )
in the law of the Lord ,
Every male that openeth (
5723 )
the womb shall be called (
5701 )
holy to the Lord ;)
*
And to offer (
5629 )
a sacrifice according to that which is said (
5772 )
in the law of the Lord ,
A pair of turtledoves ,
or two young pigeons .
*
And ,
behold (
5628 ),
there was (
5713 )
a man in Jerusalem ,
whose name was Simeon ;
and the same man was just and devout ,
waiting (
5740 )
for the consolation of Israel :
and the Holy Ghost was (
5713 )
upon him .
*
And it was (
5713 )
revealed (
5772 )
unto him by the Holy Ghost ,
that he should not see (
5629 )
death ,
before he had seen (
5632 )
the Lords Christ .
*
And he came (
5627 )
by the Spirit into the temple :
and when the parents brought (
5629 )
in the child Jesus ,
to do (
5658 )
for him after the custom (
5772 )
of the law ,
*
Then took he him up (
5662 )
in his arms ,
and blessed (
5656 )
God ,
and said (
5627 ),
*
Lord ,
now lettest thou thy servant depart (
5719 )
in peace ,
according to thy word :
*
For mine eyes have seen (
5627 )
thy salvation ,
*
Which thou hast prepared (
5656 )
before the face of all people ;
*
A light to lighten the Gentiles ,
and the glory of thy people Israel .
*
And Joseph and his mother marvelled (
5713 ) (
5723 )
at those things which were spoken (
5746 )
of him .
*
And Simeon blessed (
5656 )
them ,
and said (
5627 )
unto Mary his mother ,
Behold (
5628 ),
this child is set (
5736 )
for the fall and rising again of many in Israel ;
and for a sign which shall be spoken against (
5746 );
* (
Yea ,
a sword shall pierce through (
5695 )
thy own soul also ,)
that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed (
5686 ).
*
And there was (
5713 )
one Anna ,
a prophetess ,
the daughter of Phanuel ,
of the tribe of Aser :
she (
5625 )
was of a great age (
5761 ),
and had lived (
5660 )
with an husband seven years from her virginity ;
*
And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years ,
which departed (
5711 )
not from the temple ,
but served (
5723 )
God with fastings and prayers night and day .
*
And she (
5625 )
coming in (
5631 )
that instant gave thanks likewise (
5711 )
unto the Lord ,
and spake (
5707 )
of him to all them that looked (
5740 )
for redemption in Jerusalem .
*
And when they had performed (
5656 )
all things according to the law of the Lord ,
they returned (
5656 )
into Galilee ,
to their own city Nazareth .
*
And the child grew (
5707 ),
and waxed strong (
5712 )
in spirit ,
filled (
5746 )
with wisdom :
and the grace of God was (
5713 )
upon him .
*
Now his parents went (
5711 )
to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover .
