LUK 2:21–40, engwebp
²¹When eight days were fulfilled for the circumcision of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
²²When the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord
²³(as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”),
²⁴and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, “A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.”
²⁵Behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him.
²⁶It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
²⁷He came in the Spirit into the temple. When the parents brought in the child, Jesus, that they might do concerning him according to the custom of the law,
²⁸then he received him into his arms and blessed God, and said,
²⁹“Now you are releasing your servant, Master, according to your word, in peace;
³⁰for my eyes have seen your salvation,
³¹which you have prepared before the face of all peoples;
³²a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel.”
³³Joseph and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning him.
³⁴Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary, his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against.
³⁵Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
³⁶There was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,
³⁷and she had been a widow for about eighty-four years), who didn’t depart from the temple, worshiping with fastings and petitions night and day.
³⁸Coming up at that very hour, she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of him to all those who were looking for redemption in Jerusalem.
³⁹When they had accomplished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth.
⁴⁰The child was growing, and was becoming strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
