^2:22 And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord; ^2:23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;) ^2:24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons. ^2:25 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. ^2:26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. ^2:27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law, ^2:28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, ^2:29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: ^2:30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, ^2:31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; ^2:32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. ^2:33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him. ^2:34 And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; ^2:35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed. ^2:36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity; ^2:37 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. ^2:38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
