"And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was 1of a great age, having lived with (37 a husband seven years from her virginity, "and she had been a widow even for fourscore and four years), which departed not from the temple, worshipping with fastings (38) and supplications night and day. "And coming up at that very hour she gave thanks unto God, and spake of him to all them that were looking for the redemption of 39 Jerusalem. "And when they had accomplished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth. (40 41) (42 And the child grew, and waxed strong, filled with wisdom and the grace of God was upon him. And his parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover. "And when he was twelve years (43) old, they went up after the custom of the feast; "and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and his 44) parents knew it not; "but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day's journey; and they sought for him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance: "and when they found him not, they returned to Jerusalem, (46 seeking for him.

'And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me ? wist ye not that I must be in my Father's house? "And they understood not the saying 51 which he spake unto them.

"And the multitudes asked him, saying, II What then must we do? "And he answered and said unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food, let him do 12 likewise. "And there came also publicans to be baptized, and they said unto him, 3 Master, what must we do? "And he said unto them, Extort no more than that which 10) 13 (14 is appointed you. "And soldiers also asked him, saying, (15 And he said unto them, Do exact anything wrongfully; And we, what must we do?
