22And whenG3753 the daysG2250 of their purificationG2512 accordingG2596 to the lawG3551 of MosesG3475 were fulfilled, they broughtG321 him up to JerusalemG2414, to presentG3936 him to the LordG2962 23(as it is writtenG1125 in the lawG3551 of the LordG2962, Every maleG730 that openeth the wombG3388 shall be calledG2564 holyG40 to the LordG2962), 24and to offer a sacrificeG2378 accordingG2596 to that which is saidG3004 in the lawG3551 of the LordG2962, A pair of turtledoves, or twoG1417 young pigeons. 25And beholdG2400, there wasG1510 a manG444 in JerusalemG2419, whose nameG3686 wasG1510 SimeonG4826; and this manG444 wasG1510 righteousG1342 and devoutG2126, looking for the consolation of IsraelG2474: and the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 wasG1510 upon him. 26And it had beenG1510 revealed unto him by the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, that he should not seeG3708 deathG2288, before he had seenG3708 the Lord’s ChristG5547. 27And he cameG2064 in the SpiritG4151 into the temple: and when the parentsG1118 broughtG1521 in the childG3813 JesusG2424, that they might do concerningG4012 him after the custom of the lawG3551, 28then he receivedG1209 him into his arms, and blessedG2127 GodG2316, and saidG3004,

29NowG3568 lettest thou thy servantG1401 depart, LordG1203,AccordingG2596 to thy word, in peaceG1515;30For mineG1473 eyesG3788 have seenG3708 thy salvation,31Which thou hast preparedG2090 before the faceG4383 of all peoplesG2992;32A lightG5457 for revelationG602 to the GentilesG1484,And the gloryG1391 of thy peopleG2992 IsraelG2474.
