John Calvin Commentary Luke 2:38

"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 Jerusalem." — Luke 2:38 (ASV)

Made acknowledgment also to God.²⁰⁶ The holy melody, which proceeded from the lips of Simeon and Anna, is praised by Luke, so that believers may exhort each other to sing with one voice the praises of God and may respond to one another. When he says that Anna spoke of him to all who looked for redemption in Jerusalem, he again points out the small number of the godly. For the substance of faith lay in this expectation; and it is evident that there were few who actually cherished it in their minds.

²⁰⁶ “Louoit aussi le Seigneur;” — “praised also the Lord.”;” — “praised also the Lord.”
