It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not die without seeing the Lord's Messiah. So under the Spirit's guidance he went into the temple, and when the parents brought the child Jesus there to do for Him as the custom of the law required, Symeon also took Him in his arms and blessed God, and said: "Now, Master, you will let your slave go free in peace, as you have promised; for my eyes have seen your Salvation, which you prepared before all peoples, a light of revelation to the heathen, and a glory to your people Israel." And His father and mother kept wondering at the things spoken by Symeon about Him. Then Symeon gave them his blessing, and said to Mary, the child's mother, "This child is destined to bring the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign continuously disputed -- yea, a sword will pierce your heart -- so that the secret purposes of many hearts will be revealed." There was also a prophetess there, Hannah, a daughter of Phanuel, who belonged to the tribe of Asher. She was very old; from girlhood she had lived seven years with a husband, and now had been a widow eighty years. She never left the temple, but continued to worship all day and all night with fastings and prayers. Just at that time she came up and began to give thanks to God and to speak about the child to all who were expecting the deliverance of Jerusalem. Now when they had completed everything that was in accordance with the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth.
