The Scriptures 1998

Luke 2:33-41 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

33. And Yosĕph and His mother were marvelling at what was said about Him.

34. And Shim‛on blessed them, and said to Miryam His mother, “See, this One is set for a fall and rising of many in Yisra’ĕl, and for a sign spoken against –

35. and a sword shall pierce through your own being also – so as to reveal the thoughts of many hearts.”

36. And there was Ḥannah, a prophetess, a daughter of Penu’ĕl, of the tribe of Ashĕr. She was advanced in years, and had lived with a husband seven years from her maidenhood,

37. and she was a widow of about eighty-four years, who did not leave the Set-apart Place, but served Elohim with fastings and prayers night and day.

38. And she, coming in at that moment, gave thanks to יהוה, and spoke of Him to all who were waiting for redemption in Yerushalayim.

39. And when they had accomplished all matters according to the Torah of יהוה, they returned to Galil, to their city Natsareth.

40. And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom. And the favour of Elohim was upon Him.

41. And His parents went to Yerushalayim every year at the Festival of the Passover.
