22) Now when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were completed, they brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord 23) (as it is written in the law of the Lord, "Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord"), 24) and after a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of the Lord, "A pair of turtle doves or two young pigeons." 25) And behold there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Hoy Spirit was upon him. 26) And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not death untill before he had seen the Lords Christ. 27) So he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when the parents brought in the Child Jesus, to do for Him according to the custom of the law, 28) he took Him up in his arms and blessed God and said: 29) "lord, You are letting Your servant depart in peace, According to Your word; 30) For my eyes have seen Your salvation 31) Which You have prepared before the face of all peoples, 32) A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, And the glory of Your people Israel." 33) And Joseph and His motheer marveled at those things which were spoken of Him. 34) Then Simeon blessed them, an said to Mary His mother, "Bhold, this Child is destined for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which will be spoken against 35) (yes a sword will pierce through your own soulalso), that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed." 36) Now there was one, Anna, a phrophetesss, the dayghter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity; 37) and this woman was widow of about eighty-four years, who did not depart from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. 38) And coming in that instant she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of Him to all those who looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

41) His parents went to jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. 42) And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast. 43) When they had finished the days, as they returned, the Boy Jesus lingered behind in Jerusalem. And Joseph and His mother did not know it; 44) but suposing Him to have been in the company, they went a day's journey, and sought Him among their relatives and acquaintances. 45) So when they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking Him. 46) Now so it was after three days they found Him in the temple, sittting in the mdst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions. 47) And all who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers. 48) So when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him, "Son why have You done this to us? Look, Your father and I have sought You anxiously." 49) And He said to them, "Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father's business?" 50) But they did not understand the statement which He spoke to them.

Jesus As An Adult
28) When He had said this, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. 29) And it came to pass, when He drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mountain called Olivet, that he sent two of His disciples, 30) saying, "Go into the village oppisite you, where as you enter you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Loose it and bring it here. 31) And if anyone asks you, 'Why are you loosing it?' thus you shall to him, 'Because the Lord has need of it.' " 32) So those who were sent went their wayand found it just as He had said to them. 33) But as they were loosing the colt, the owners of it said to them, "Why are you loosing the colt?" 34) And they said, "The Lord has need of him." 35) Then they brought him to Jesus. And they threw their own clothes on the colt, and they sat Jesus on him. 36) And as He went, many spread their clothes on the road. 37) Then, as He was now drawing near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise Godwith a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen, 38) saying: " 'Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!' Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!' 39) And some of the Pharisees called to Him from the crowd, "Teacher, rebuke Your disciples." 40) But He said to them, "I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stone would immediately cry out."
