A light to give revelation to the Gentiles, and glory to thy people Israel. And Joseph and his mother were amazed at the things spoken concerning him. And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, Behold, this child is appointed for the fall, and rising again of many in Israel; and for a marked object to be spoken against; (so shall a dart pierce through thy own soul) that the reasonings of many hearts may be laid open, And there was Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asser: she was far advanced in old age, having lived but seven years with a husband, from her virgin state: though she was now a widow, of about eighty-four years, who departed not from the temple, attending the divine service, with fastings and prayers night and day: and at the very same moment coming up, she also in turn confessed the Lord, and spake of him to all who were expecting redemption in Jerusalem. And when they had finished all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, into their own city Nazareth.
