27And he cameG2064 1by the SpiritG4151 into the templeG2413; and whenG1722 the parentsG1118 broughtG1521 inG1521 the childG3813 JesusG2424, 23to carryG4160 outG4160 for Him the customG1480 of the LawG3551, 28thenG2532 he tookG1209 Him in his armsG43, and blessedG2127 GodG2316, and saidG3004,29“NowG3568, LordG1203, You are lettingG630 Your bond-servantG1401 departG630 in peaceG1515, 4AccordingG2596 to Your wordG4487;30For my eyesG3788 have 5seenG3708 Your salvationG4992,31WhichG3739 You have preparedG2090 in the presenceG4383 of allG3956 the peoplesG2992:326A lightG5457 for revelationG602 7for the GentilesG1484, And the gloryG1391 of Your peopleG2992 IsraelG2474.”
33And His fatherG3962 and 8motherG3384 wereG2296 amazedG2296 at the things which were being saidG2980 aboutG4012 Him. 34And SimeonG4826 blessedG2127 them and saidG3004 to 9His motherG3384 MaryG3137, “BeholdG2400, thisG3778 Child is appointedG2749 for 10the fallG4431 and 11riseG386 of manyG4183 in IsraelG2474, and as a signG4592 to be 12opposedG483-- 35and a swordG4501 will pierceG1330 your ownG846 soulG5590--toG3704 theG3704 endG3704 thatG3704 thoughtsG1261 from manyG4183 heartsG2588 may be revealedG601.”
36And there was a 13prophetessG4398, 14AnnaG451, the daughterG2364 of PhanuelG5323, of 15the tribeG5443 of AsherG768. She was advancedG4260 in 16yearsG2250 17and had livedG2198 with her husbandG435 for sevenG2033 yearsG2250 afterG575 her 18marriageG3932, 37and then as a widowG5503 to the ageG2094 of eighty-fourG3589G5064. She did not leaveG868 the templeG2413 grounds, servingG3000 nightG3571 and dayG2250 with 19fastsG3521 and prayersG1162. 38And at that veryG846 20momentG5610 she cameG2186 upG2186 and began givingG437 thanksG437 to GodG2316, and continued to speakG2980 aboutG4012 Him to allG3956 thoseG3588 who were 21lookingG4327 forwardG4327 toG4327 the redemptionG3085 of JerusalemG2419.
39And whenG5613 His parents had completedG5055 everythingG3956 inG2596 accordanceG2596 withG2596 the LawG3551 of the LordG2962, they returnedG1994 to GalileeG1056, to 22their ownG1438 cityG4172 of NazarethG3478.
