Luke 2:26-38

Sawyer(i) 26 And he was informed by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death till he had seen the Lord's anointed. 27 And he came by the spirit into the temple, and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do according to the custom of the law concerning him, 28 he also took it in his arms, and blessed God, and said, 29 Now, Master, dismiss thy servant according to thy word, in peace; 30 for my eyes have seen thy salvation, 31 which thou hast prepared before all people; 32 a light for enlightening Gentiles, and a glory of thy people Israel. 33 And his father and mother wondered at the words spoken of him. 34 (3:6) And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and for a sign spoken against, 35 and a sword shall pierce your own soul also, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed. 36 (3:7) And there was Anna, a prophetess, a daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher; she was far advanced in years, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity; 37 and she had been a widow eighty-four years, and departed not from the temple, serving God night and day with fastings and prayers. 38 And she coming by at that time, praised God, and spoke of him [the child] to all who expected a redemption in Jerusalem.
