  • Luke 2:26-38 : 26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Messiah. 27 Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the Law required, 28 Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying: 29 "Now, Lord, you can let your servant depart in peace, according to your word. 30 For my eyes have seen your salvation, 31 which you have prepared in the sight of all nations: 32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel." 33 The child's father and mother marveled at what was said about him. 34 Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother: "This child is destined to cause the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be opposed. 35 (And a sword will pierce your own soul as well), so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed." 36 There was also a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was well along in years, having lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, 37 and then as a widow until she was eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshiped night and day with fasting and prayer. 38 At that very moment, she came up and began to give thanks to the Lord and to speak about the child to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.
