22 Now when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were completed, they brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord 365D 12.3
23 (as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord ” ), 365D 12.4
24 and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of the Lord, “A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.” 365D 12.5
25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 365D 12.6
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. 365D 12.7
27 So he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when the parents brought in the Child Jesus, to do for Him according to the custom of the law, 365D 12.8
28 he took Him up in his arms and blessed God and said: 365D 12.9
29 “Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace, According to Your word; 365D 12.10
30 For my eyes have seen Your salvation 365D 12.11
31 Which You have prepared before the face of all peoples, 365D 12.12
32 A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, And the glory of Your people Israel.” 365D 12.13
33 [h] And Joseph and His mother marveled at those things which were spoken of Him. 365D 12.14
34 Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary His mother, “Behold, this Child is destined for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which will be spoken against 365D 12.15
35 (yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” 365D 12.16

38 And coming in that instant she gave thanks to [j] the Lord, and spoke of Him to all those who looked for redemption in Jerusalem. 365D 12.19
