And he came into the Temple, led by the Spirit. and when his parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law, 
he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said, 
"Now lettest thou thy slave depart, O Master; according to thy word in peace,

"Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples; 
"A light for the unveiling of the Gentiles And the glory of thy people Israel." 
And while his father and mother were marveling at the words that were spoken concerning him, Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother.

There was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in age, having lived with her husband seven years, after her girlhood, 
and then being a widow even for fourscore and four years. She departed not from the temple, but worshiped with the fasting and prayer, night and day. 
She came up at that very hour, and gave thanks to God, and spoke of the child to all who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.

but supposed that he was in the company, and went a days journey. Then they hunted for him among his kinsfolk and acquaintance; 
and when they did not find him they returned to Jerusalem, making anxious inquiry for him. 
On the third day they found him sitting in the Temple, among the Rabbis, both listening to them and asking questions. 
All that heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. 
When they saw him they were astonished, and his mother said to him "Child, why have you treated us so? Behold your father and I have been looking for you in anguish." 
He answered, "Why is it that you have been looking for me, did you not realize that I had to be in my Fathers house?" 
But they did not understand the words that he spoke to them. 
Then he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and he was always obedient to them. But his mother kept treasuring up all these incidents in her hearts. 
And Jesus was ever advancing in wisdom and in status and in favor with God and man.
