22
And when the necessary days for making them clean by the law of Moses had come to an end, they took him to Jerusalem to give him to the Lord
23
(As it says in the law of the Lord, Every mother's first male child is to be holy to the Lord),
24
And to make an offering, as it is ordered in the law of the Lord, of two doves or other young birds.
25
And there was then in Jerusalem a man whose name was Simeon; and he was an upright man, fearing God and waiting for the comfort of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was on him.
26
And he had knowledge, through the Holy Spirit, that he would not see death till he had seen the Lord's Christ.
27
And full of the Spirit he came into the Temple; and when the father and mother came in with the child Jesus, to do with him what was ordered by the law,
28
Then he took him in his arms and gave praise to God and said,
29
Now you are letting your servant go in peace, O Lord, as you have said;
30
For my eyes have seen your salvation,
31
Which you have made ready before the face of all nations;
32
A light of revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel.
