Luke 2:24-38

²⁴and that they shall give an offering, after that it is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtles, or two culver birds, (or A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons).

²⁵And lo! a man was in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and this man was just, and virtuous or dread-full, and abode the comfort of Israel; and the Holy Ghost was in him. (And behold! there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name (was) Simeon; and this man (was) righteous, and virtuous, (or full of reverence), and awaited the strengthening of Israel; and the Holy Spirit was in him.)

²⁶And he had taken an answer of the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, no but he saw first the Christ of the Lord. (And he had received an answer from the Holy Spirit, that he would not see death, until he had seen the Messiah of the Lord.)

²⁷And he came in (the) Spirit into the temple (or And directed by the Spirit he came to the Temple). And when his father and mother led in the child Jesus to do after the custom of the law for him,

²⁸he took him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,

²⁹Lord, now thou leavest thy servant after thy word in peace; (Lord, now thou lettest thy servant go or to depart in peace, according to thy word;)

³⁰for mine eyes have seen thine health, (for my eyes have seen thy salvation or thy deliverance,)

³¹which thou hast made ready before the face of all (the) peoples;

³²light to the showing of heathen men, and (the) glory of thy people Israel. (light for the showing to the Gentiles, and glory to thy people Israel.)

³³And his father and his mother were wondering on these things, that were said of him (or that were said about their son).

³⁴And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary, his mother, Lo! this (child) is set into the falling down and into the rising again of many men in Israel, and into a token, to whom it shall be against-said, (or and as a sign, to which it shall be said against, or which shall be rejected).

³⁵And a sword shall pass through thine own soul, (so) that the thoughts be showed of many hearts.

³⁶And Anna was a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the lineage of Aser. And she had gone forth in many days, and had lived with her husband seven years from her maidenhood.

³⁷And this (woman) was a widow to fourscore years and four; and she departed not from the temple, but served God night and day in fastings and prayers.

³⁸And this (woman) came upon them in that hour, and acknowledged to the Lord, and spake of him to all that abided the redemption of Israel. (And she came upon them at that time, and thanked the Lord, and spoke about him to all who waited for Israel’s redemption.)
