25AndG2532, beholdG3708, there wasG1510 a manG444 inG1722 JerusalemG2419, whoseG3739 nameG3686 was SimeonG4826; andG2532 the sameG3778 manG3588G444 was justG1342 andG2532 devoutG2126, waitingG4327 for the consolationG3874 of IsraelG3588G2474: andG2532 theG4151 HolyG40 GhostG4151 wasG1510 uponG1909 himG846.
26AndG2532 it wasG1510 revealedG5537 unto himG846 byG5259 theG3588G4151 HolyG40 GhostG3588G4151, that he shouldG3708 notG3361 seeG3708 deathG2288, beforeG4250 he had seenG3708 theG3588G5547 Lord’sG2962 ChristG3588G5547.

28ThenG2532 tookG1209 heG846 himG846 upG1209 inG1519 hisG846 armsG3588G43, andG2532 blessedG2127 GodG3588G2316, andG2532 saidG3004,
29LordG1203, nowG3568 lettest thouG630 thyG4771 servantG3588G1401 departG630 inG1722 peaceG1515, according toG2596 thyG4771 wordG3588G4487:
30ForG3754 mineG1473 eyesG3588G3788 have seenG3708 thyG4771 salvationG4992,
31WhichG3739 thou hast preparedG2090 beforeG2596 the faceG4383 of allG3956 peopleG3588G2992;
32A lightG5457 toG1519 lightenG602 the GentilesG1484, andG2532 the gloryG1391 ofG2992 thyG4771 peopleG2992 IsraelG2474.
33AndG2532 JosephG2501 andG2532 hisG846 motherG3588G3384 marvelledG2296 atG1909 those things which were spokenG2980 ofG4012 himG846.
34AndG2532 SimeonG4826 blessedG2127 themG846, andG2532 saidG3004 untoG4314 MaryG3137 hisG846 motherG3588G3384, BeholdG3708, thisG3778 child is setG2749 forG1519 the fallG4431 andG2532 rising againG386 of manyG4183 inG1722 IsraelG2474; andG2532 forG1519 a signG4592 which shall be spoken againstG483;
35(YeaG1161, a swordG4501 shall pierce throughG1330 thyG4771 ownG846 soulG3588G5590 alsoG2532,) thatG3704 the thoughtsG1261 ofG1537 manyG4183 heartsG2588 may be revealedG601.
36AndG2532 there wasG1510 one AnnaG451, a prophetessG4398, the daughterG2364 of PhanuelG5323, ofG1537 the tribeG5443 of AsherG768: sheG3778 was ofG4260 a greatG4183 ageG4260, and had livedG2198 withG3326 an husbandG435 sevenG2033 yearsG2094 fromG575 herG846 virginityG3588G3932;
37AndG2532 sheG3778 was a widowG5503 of aboutG5613 fourscore and fourG3589G5064 yearsG2094, whichG3739 departedG868 notG3756 fromG575 the templeG3588G2411, but servedG3000 God with fastingsG3521 andG2532 prayersG1162 nightG3571 andG2532 dayG2250.
38AndG2532 sheG3778 coming inG2186 thatG846 instantG3588G5610 gave thanks likewiseG437 unto the LordG3588G2962, andG2532 spakeG2980 ofG4012 himG846 to allG3956 them that lookedG3588G4327 for redemptionG3085 inG1722 JerusalemG2419.
