Luke 2:26-38

ABU(i) 26 And it was revealed to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Christ of the Lord. 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 he took him into his arms, and blessed God, and said: 29 Now, Lord, thou lettest thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word; 30 because my eyes saw thy salvation, 31 which thou preparedst before the face of all the peoples, 32 a light for a revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. 33 And his father and mother wondered at the things spoken of him. 34 And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother: Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that shall be spoken against, 35 (and a sword shall pierce through thine own soul also), that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed. 36 And there was Anna, a prophetess, daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity; 37 and she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, who departed not from the temple, serving day and night with fastings and prayers. 38 And she, coming up at that very time, likewise gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of him to all that were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.
