Luke 2

22 And when the days of their purification were fulfilled, according to the Law of Moses, they brought Him up to Jerusalem, to present to the LORD, 23 as it has been written in the Law of the LORD: "Every male opening a womb will be called holy to the LORD," 24 and to give a sacrifice, according to that said in the Law of the LORD: "A pair of turtle-doves, or two young pigeons." 25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name [is] Simeon, and this man is righteous and devout, looking for the comforting of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him, 26 and it has been divinely told him by the Holy Spiritnot to see death before he may see the Christ of the LORD. 27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple, and in the parents bringing in the child Jesus, for their doing according to the custom of the Law regarding Him, 28 then he took Him in his arms, and blessed God, and he said, 29 "Now You send Your servant away, O LORD, according to Your word, in peace, 30 because my eyes saw Your salvation, 31 which You prepared before the face of all the peoples, 32 a light to the uncovering of nations, and the glory of Your people Israel." 33 And Joseph and His mother were wondering at the things spoken concerning Him, 34 and Simeon blessed them and said to His mother Mary, "Behold, this [One] is set for the falling and rising again of many in Israel, and for a sign spoken against35 (and also a sword will pass through your own soul)that the reasonings of many hearts may be revealed." 36 And there was Anna, a prophetess, daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, she was much advanced in days, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity, 37 and she [is] a widow of about eighty-four years, who did not depart from the temple, serving with fasts and supplications, night and day, 38 and she, at that hour, having come in, was confessing, likewise, to the LORD, and was speaking concerning Him to all those looking for redemption in Jerusalem.
