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; 23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;) 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. 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. 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. 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, 28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, 29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: 30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, 31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; 32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. 33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him. 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; 35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed. 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; 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. 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.

在圣殿奉献耶稣
22 满了洁净的日子，他们就按着摩西的律法，带孩子上耶路撒冷去，奉献给主。23 正如主的律法所记："所有头生的男孩，都当称为圣归给主。"24 又照着主的律法所说的献上祭物，就是一对斑鸠或两只雏鸽。
25 在耶路撒冷有一个人，名叫西面，这人公义虔诚，一向期待以色列的安慰者来到，又有圣灵在他身上。26 圣灵启示他，在死前必得见主所应许的基督，27 他又受圣灵感动进了圣殿。那时，耶稣的父母抱着孩子进来，要按着律法的规矩为他行礼。28 西面就把他接到手上，称颂 神说：
29 "主啊，现在照你的话，
释放仆人平平安安地去吧！
30 因我的眼睛已经看见你的救恩，
31 就是你在万民面前所预备的，
32 为要作外族人启示的光，
和你民以色列的荣耀。"
33 他父母因论到他的这些话而希奇。34 西面给他们祝福，对他母亲马利亚说："看哪！这孩子被立，要叫以色列中许多人跌倒，许多人兴起，又要成为反对的目标，35 你自己的心也会被刀刺透，这样，许多人心中的意念就要被揭露出来。"36 又有一个女先知，就是亚拿，是亚设支派法内利的女儿。她已经上了年纪，从童女出嫁，和丈夫住了七年，37 就寡居了，直到八十四岁"就寡居了，直到八十四岁"或译："就寡居了八十四年"。她没有离开过圣殿，以禁食和祷告昼夜事奉主。38 就在那时候，她前来称谢 神，并且向期待耶路撒冷蒙救赎的众人，讲论孩子的事。
