27AndG2532 he cameG2064 byG1722 the SpiritG3588G4151 intoG1519 the templeG3588G2411: andG2532 whenG1722 the parentsG3588G1118 brought inG3588G1521 the childG3588G3813 JesusG2424, to doG4160 forG4012 himG846 afterG2596 the customG3588G1480 of the lawG3588G3551,

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.

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.

39AndG2532 whenG5613 they had performedG5055 all thingsG537 according toG2596 the lawG3588G3551 of the LordG2962, they returnedG5290 intoG1519 GalileeG3588G1056, toG1519 their ownG846 cityG3588G4172 NazarethG3478.
