Luke 2:33-40

33And his father and mother wondered at the things which were said concerning him.

34And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, Lo, this [child] is set for the fall and rising up of many in Israel, and for a sign spoken against;

35(and even a sword shall go through thine own soul;) so that [the] thoughts may be revealed from many hearts.

36And there was a prophetess, Anna, daughter of Phanuel, of [the] tribe of Asher, who was far advanced in years, having lived with [her] husband seven years from her virginity,

37and herself a widow up to eighty-four years; who did not depart from the temple, serving night and day with fastings and prayers;

38and she coming up the same hour gave praise to the Lord, and spoke of him to all those who waited for redemption in Jerusalem.

39And when they had completed all things according to the law of [the] Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own city Nazareth.

40And the child grew and waxed strong [in spirit], filled with wisdom, and 1God's grace was upon him.
