The NAS Strong's Version
Book of Luke Chapter 2 Luke 2:25-40 [ Verse 37 in Original: Greek ] [ Read Chapter | Discuss these Verses ] 25 And there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon ; and this man was righteous and devout , looking for the consolation of Israel ; and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26 And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ . 27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple ; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus , to carry out for Him the custom of the Law , 28 then he took Him into his arms , and blessed God , and said , 29 "Now Lord , You are releasing Your bond-servant to depart in peace , According to Your word ; 30 For my eyes have seen Your salvation , 31 Which You have prepared in the presence of all peoples , 32 A LIGHT OF REVELATION TO THE GENTILES , And the glory of Your people Israel ." 33 And His father and mother were amazed at the things which were being said about Him. 34 And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary His mother , "Behold , this Child is appointed for the fall and rise of many in Israel , and for a sign to be opposed -- 35 and a sword will pierce even your own soul --to the end that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed ." 36 And there was a prophetess , Anna the daughter of Phanuel , of the tribe of Asher . She was advanced in years and had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage , 37 and then as a widow to the age of eighty-four * . She never left the temple , serving night and day with fastings and prayers . 38 At that very moment she came up and began giving thanks to God , and continued to speak of Him to all those who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem . 39 When they had performed everything according to the Law of the Lord , they returned to Galilee , to their own city of Nazareth . 40 The Child continued to grow and become strong , increasing in wisdom ; and the grace of God was upon Him.
