2:23 (as it is written in the Law of the Lord: “Every firstborn male shall be consecrated to the Lord”),

2:24 and to offer the sacrifice specified in the Law of the Lord: “A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”

2:25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

2:26 The Holy Spirit had revealed to him that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.

2:27 Led by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. And when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for Him what was customary under the Law,

2:28 Simeon took Him in his arms and blessed God, saying:

2:29 “Sovereign Lord, as You have promised, You now dismiss Your servant in peace.

2:30 For my eyes have seen Your salvation,

2:31 which You have prepared in the sight of all people,

2:32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to Your people Israel.”

2:33 The Child’s father and mother were amazed at what was spoken about Him.

2:34 Then Simeon blessed them and said to His mother Mary: “Behold, this Child is appointed to cause the rise and fall of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against,

2:35 so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed—and a sword will pierce your soul as well.”

2:36 There was also a prophetess named Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, who was well along in years. She had been married for seven years,

2:38 Coming forward at that moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the Child to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.

2:39 When Jesus’ parents had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth.

2:40 And the Child grew and became strong. He was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon Him.
