nkjv Luke:2:33-47
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.
nkjv@Luke:2:39 @ So when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth.
nkjv@Luke:2:40 @ And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.
nkjv@Luke:2:41 @ His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover.
nkjv@Luke:2:42 @ And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast.
nkjv@Luke:2:43 @ When they had finished the days, as they returned, the Boy Jesus lingered behind in Jerusalem. And Joseph and His mother did not know it;
nkjv@Luke:2:44 @ but supposing Him to have been in the company, they went a day's journey, and sought Him among their relatives and acquaintances.
nkjv@Luke:2:45 @ So when they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking Him.
nkjv@Luke:2:46 @ Now so it was that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.
nkjv@Luke:2:47 @ And all who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers.
