Luke 2:34-52

34and SimeonG4826 blessedG2127 them, and saidG3004 unto MaryG3137 his motherG3384, BeholdG2400, this child is setG2749 for the falling and the rising of manyG4183 in IsraelG2474; and for a signG4592 which is spoken against; 35yea and a swordG4501 shall pierce through thine own soulG5590; that thoughtsG1261 out of manyG4183 heartsG2588 may be revealedG601. 36And there wasG1510 oneG3778 Anna, a prophetessG4398, the daughterG2364 of Phanuel, of the tribeG5443 of AsherG768 (she wasG1510 of a greatG4183 age, having lived with a husbandG435 sevenG2033 yearsG2094 from her virginity, 37and she had been a widowG5503 evenG2532 unto fourscore and fourG5064 yearsG2094), who departedG868 not from the temple, worshipping with fastings and supplications nightG3571 and dayG2250. 38And coming up at that very hourG5610 she gave thanks unto GodG2316, and spake of him to all them that were looking for the redemptionG3085 of JerusalemG2419. 39And whenG5613 they had accomplishedG5055 all thingsG3956 that were accordingG2596 to the lawG3551 of the LordG2962, they returnedG1994 into GalileeG1056, to their ownG1438 cityG4172 NazarethG3478.

40And the childG3813 grewG837, and waxed strong, filledG4137 with wisdomG4678: and the graceG5485 of GodG2316 wasG1510 upon him.

41And his parentsG1118 wentG4198 every yearG2094 to JerusalemG2419 at the feastG1859 of the passoverG3957. 42And whenG3753 he was twelveG1427 yearsG2094 old, they wentG305 up after the customG1485 of the feastG1859; 43and when they had fulfilled the daysG2250, as they were returningG5290, the boyG3816 JesusG2424 tarried behind in JerusalemG2419; and his parentsG1118 knewG1097 it not; 44but supposing him to beG1510 in the company, they went a day’sG2250 journeyG3598; and they sought for him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance: 45and when they foundG2147 him not, they returnedG5290 to JerusalemG2419, seeking for him. 46And it cameG1096 to passG1096, after threeG5140 daysG2250 they foundG2147 him in the temple, sitting in the midstG3319 of the teachersG1320, both hearingG191 them, and askingG1905 them questionsG1905: 47and all that heardG191 him were amazed at his understandingG4907 and his answersG612. 48And when they sawG3708 him, they were astonishedG1605; and his motherG3384 saidG3004 unto him, SonG5043, whyG5101 hast thou thusG3779 dealt with us? beholdG2400, thy fatherG3962 and I soughtG2212 thee sorrowing. 49And he saidG3004 unto them, How isG1510 it that ye soughtG2212 me? knew ye not that I must beG1510 in my Father’s house? 50And they understoodG4920 not the sayingG2980 which he spake unto them. 51And he went downG2597 with them, and cameG2064 to NazarethG3478; and he wasG1510 subjectG5293 unto them: and his motherG3384 kept all these sayings in her heartG2588.

52And JesusG2424 advanced in wisdomG4678 and statureG2244, and in favorG5485 with GodG2316 and menG444.
