nkjv Luke:2:26-38
nkjv@Luke:2:26 @ And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
nkjv@Luke:2:27 @ So he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when the parents brought in the Child Jesus, to do for Him according to the custom of the law,
nkjv@Luke:2:28 @ he took Him up in his arms and blessed God and said:
nkjv@Luke:2:29 @ "Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace, According to Your word;
nkjv@Luke:2:30 @ For my eyes have seen Your salvation
nkjv@Luke:2:31 @ Which You have prepared before the face of all peoples,
nkjv@Luke:2:32 @ A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, And the glory of Your people Israel."
nkjv@Luke:2:33 @ And Joseph and His mother marveled at those things which were spoken of Him.
nkjv@Luke:2:34 @ Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary His mother, "Behold, this Child is destined for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which will be spoken against
nkjv@Luke:2:35 @ (yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed."
nkjv@Luke:2:36 @ Now there was one, Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity;
nkjv@Luke:2:37 @ and this woman was a widow of about eighty-four years, who did not depart from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
nkjv@Luke:2:38 @ And coming in that instant she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of Him to all those who looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
