“When the days were completed for their purification according to the law of Moses, they took Jesus up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord. Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord. He took Jesus into his arms, saying: ‘Now, Master, you may let your servant go in peace, according to your word, for my eyes have seen your salvation.' When they fulfilled all the prescriptions of the Law of the Lord they returned to Galilee , to Nazareth . The child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom; and the favor of God was upon him.”
