Luke 2:32-46

³²a light for revelation of the Gentiles and the glory of thy people Israel.

³³And his father and mother wondered at the things which were said concerning him.

³⁴And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, Lo, this child is set for the fall and rising up of many in Israel, and for a sign spoken against;

³⁵(and even a sword shall go through thine own soul;) so that the thoughts may be revealed from many hearts.

³⁶And there was a prophetess, Anna, daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, who was far advanced in years, having lived with her husband seven years from her virginity,

³⁷and herself a widow up to eighty-four years; who did not depart from the temple, serving night and day with fastings and prayers;

³⁸and she coming up the same hour gave praise to the Lord, and spoke of him to all those who waited for redemption in Jerusalem.

³⁹And when they had completed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own city Nazareth.

⁴⁰And the child grew and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom, and God's grace was upon him.

⁴¹And his parents went yearly to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.

⁴²And when he was twelve years old, and they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast

⁴³and had completed the days, as they returned, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, and his parents knew not of it;

⁴⁴but, supposing him to be in the company that journeyed together, they went a day's journey, and sought him among their relations and acquaintances:

⁴⁵and not having found him they returned to Jerusalem seeking him.

⁴⁶And it came to pass, after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers and hearing them and asking them questions.
