Luke 2:33-40
33And His fatherG3962 and 1motherG3384 were amazedG2296 at the things which were being saidG2980 aboutG4012 Him. 34And SimeonG4826 blessedG2127 them and saidG3004 to MaryG3137 2His motherG3384, “BeholdG2400, thisG3778 Child is appointedG2749 for 3the fallG4431 and 4riseG386 of manyG4183 in IsraelG2474, and for a signG4592 to be opposedG483-- 35and a swordG4501 will pierceG1330 evenG2532 your ownG846 soulG5590--to the endG3704 that thoughtsG1261 from manyG4183 heartsG2588 may be revealedG601.”
36And there was a 5prophetessG4398, 6AnnaG451 the daughterG2364 of PhanuelG5323, of 7the tribeG5443 of AsherG768. She was advancedG4260 in 8yearsG2250 9and had livedG2198 with her husbandG435 sevenG2033 yearsG2250 afterG575 her 10marriageG3932, 37and then as a widowG5503 to the ageG2094 of eighty-fourG3589G5064. She neverG3756 leftG868 the templeG2413, servingG3000 nightG3571 and dayG2250 with 11fastingsG3521 and prayersG1162. 38At that veryG846 12momentG5610 she cameG2186 up and began givingG437 thanksG437 to GodG2316, and continued to speakG2980 of Him to allG3956 thoseG3588 who were 13lookingG4327 for the redemptionG3085 of JerusalemG2419.
39WhenG5613 they had performedG5055 everythingG3956 accordingG2596 to the LawG3551 of the LordG2962, they returnedG1994 to GalileeG1056, to 14their ownG1438 cityG4172 of NazarethG3478. 4015The ChildG3813 continued to growG837 and becomeG2901 strongG2901, 16increasingG4137 in wisdomG4678; and the graceG5485 of GodG2316 was upon Him.
