34 And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, 'Behold, this one is set for the fall and for the rising up of many in Israel, and for the object of reproach,

35 And a sword shall pierce thy own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.

36 And there was also Hannah the prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, who had come to a great old age, having lived with her husband from her virginity seven years,

37 A widow of eighty-four years old, who did not leave the temple, serving God day and night with fasting and prayer.

38 And at that time she came and praised the Lord, and spoke of him to all who were waiting for deliverance in Jerusalem.

39 And when they had done all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their city of Nazareth.

40 And the child grew and was strengthened in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.

41 Every year his parents went up to Jerusalem for the feast of the Passover.

42 And when he was twelve years old, they also came to Jerusalem for a feast according to custom.

43 And when they were returning, at the end of the days of the feast, the lad Jesus remained in Jerusalem; And Joseph and his mother did not perceive it;

44 but they thought that He was going with others. And when they had traveled the day, they began to look for Him among their relatives and acquaintances

45 and not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him.

46 And after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, listening to them, and asking them;

47 all those who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
