Luke 2:22-39
22And whenG3753 the daysG2250 were fulfilled for their purifying accordingG2596 to the lawG3551 of MosesG3475, they broughtG321 him to JerusalemG2414 to presentG3936 [him] to the LordG2962
23(as it is writtenG1125 in the lawG3551 of [the] LordG2962: Every maleG730 that opensG1272 the wombG3388 shall be calledG2564 holyG40 to the LordG2962),
24and to offer a sacrificeG2378 accordingG2596 to what is saidG3004 in the lawG3551 of [the] LordG2962: A pair of turtle dovesG4058, or twoG1417 young pigeons.
25And beholdG2400, there wasG1510 a manG444 in JerusalemG2419 whose nameG3686 wasG1510 SimeonG4826; and this manG444 wasG1510 justG1342 and pious, awaiting the consolation of IsraelG2474, and [the] HolyG40 SpiritG4151 wasG1510 upon him.
26And it wasG1510 divinely communicated to him by the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, that he should not seeG3708 deathG2288 before he should seeG3708 [the] Lord's ChristG5547.
27And he cameG2064 in the SpiritG4151 into the temple; and as the parentsG1118 broughtG1521 in the childG3813 JesusG2424 that they might do for him accordingG2596 to the custom of the lawG3551,
28he receivedG1209 him into his arms, and blessedG2127 1GodG2316, and saidG3004,
29LordG1203, nowG3568 thou lettest thy bondman goG630, 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 of [the] GentilesG1484 and [the] gloryG1391 of thy peopleG2992 IsraelG2474.
33And his fatherG3962 and motherG3384 wonderedG2296 at the things which wereG1510 saidG2980 concerningG4012 him.
34And SimeonG4826 blessedG2127 them, and saidG3004 to MaryG3137 his motherG3384, Lo, this [child] is setG2749 for the fall and rising up of manyG4183 in IsraelG2474, and for a signG4592 spoken against;
35(and evenG2532 a swordG4501 shall goG1330 through thine own soulG5590;) so that [the] thoughtsG1261 may be revealedG601 from manyG4183 heartsG2588.
36And there wasG1510 a prophetessG4398, Anna, daughterG2364 of Phanuel, of [the] tribeG5443 of AsherG768, who wasG1510 far advanced in yearsG2094, having lived with [her] husbandG435 sevenG2033 yearsG2094 from her virginity,
37and herself a widowG5503 up to eighty-four yearsG2094; who did not departG868 from the temple, servingG3000 nightG3571 and dayG2250 with fastings and prayersG1162;
38and she coming up the sameG846 hourG5610 gave praise to the Lord, and spokeG2980 of him to all those who waited for redemptionG3085 in JerusalemG2419.
39And whenG5613 they had completed all thingsG3956 accordingG2596 to the lawG3551 of [the] LordG2962, they returnedG1994 to GalileeG1056 to their ownG1438 cityG4172 NazarethG3478.
