Joshua 20

    ²Appoint cities of refuge, a of which I spoke to you by the hand of Moses:

    ³That whosoever shall kill a person unawares may flee to them: and may escape the wrath of the kinsman, who is the avenger of blood:

    ⁴And when he shall flee to one of these cities: he shall stand before the gate of the city, and shall speak to the ancients of that city, such things as prove him innocent: and so shall they receive him, and give him a place to dwell in.

    ⁵And when the avenger of blood shall pursue him, they shall not deliver him into his hands, because he slew his neighbour unawares, and is not proved to have been his enemy two or three days before.

    ⁶And he shall dwell in that city, till he stand before judgment to give an account of his fact, and till the death of the high priest, who shall be at that time: then shall the manslayer return, and go into his own city and house from whence he fled.

    ²⁷And he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when his parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,

    ²⁸He also took him into his arms, and blessed God, and said:

    ²⁹Now thou dost dismiss thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word in peace;

    ³⁰Because my eyes have seen thy salvation,

    ³¹Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples:

    ³²A light to the revelation of the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.

    ³⁴And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother: Behold this child is set for the fall, and for the resurrection of many in Israel, and for a sign which shall be contradicted;

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

    ⁴⁷And all that heard him were astonished at his wisdom and his answers.

    ⁴⁸And seeing him, they wondered. And his mother said to him: Son, why hast thou done so to us? behold thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.

    ⁴⁹And he said to them: How is it that you sought me? did you not know, that I must be about my father's business?

    ⁵⁰And they understood not the word that he spoke unto them.

    ⁵¹And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them. And his mother kept all these words in her heart.

    ⁵²And Jesus advanced in wisdom, and age, and grace with God and men.
