Luke 2:19-29

¹⁹But Mary kept all thoose sayinges and pondered them in hyr hert.

²⁰And the shepherdes retourned praysinge and laudinge God for all that they had herde and sene evyn as it was told vnto them.

²¹And when the eyght daye was come that the chylde shuld be circucised his name was called Iesus which was named of the angell before he was conceaved in the wombe.

²²And when the tyme of their purificacion (after the lawe of Moyses) was come they brought him to Hierusalem to present hym to the Lorde

²³(as that is written in the lawe of the Lorde: every man that fyrst openeth the matrix shalbe called holy to the Lorde)

²⁴and to offer (as it ys sayde in the lawe of the Lorde) a payre of turtle doves or two yonge pigions.

²⁵And beholde ther was a man in Hierusalem whose name was Simeon. And the same man was iuste and feared God and longed for the consolacion of Israel and the holy goost was in him.

²⁶And an answer was geven him of the holy goost that he shulde not se deethe before he had sene the lordes Christ.

²⁷And he came by inspiracion into the temple. And when the father and mother brought in the chylde Iesus to do for him after the custome of the lawe

²⁸then toke he him vp in his armes and sayde.

²⁹Lorde Now lettest thou thy seruaut departe in peace accordinge to thy promes.
