Simeon and Anna | Scripture Story Sketch Notes | Printable PDF

A hand-drawn, doodle-style study of Simeon and Anna, built around the child they recognized by the Spirit and Simeon’s words: “For mine eyes have seen thy salvation” (Luke 2:30).

Follow a numbered map from Bethlehem to the temple and home to Nazareth, then look closer at the details. Context and Greek word studies help, while the focus stays on the Savior.

What's Inside

• Cover with a numbered map and a contents list
• The story, plainly: four scenes, “Look to Him” notes, the hard King James words explained, and a draw-and-write page
• Look closer: nine cards on the offering, the firstborn, Simeon, the light, the consolation, Anna and the sword
• Where are you in the waiting? Waiting, led by the Spirit, faithful every day, or telling others, with check-ins
• Hold the promise: a six-step activity with space to draw
• Their world, their words: the offering, the firstborn, faith in a hard season, Anna and Hannah, and two Greek word studies (paraklēsis, apoluō)
• Look to Him: what prophets have taught, with the Book of Mormon alongside
• Seek Him today: Simeon’s promise, a seven-day tracker, talk-about questions and verses to hold
• Go deeper: summaries and links for adult and deeper study
• Sources: every quotation and gloss cited with links (scripture first, then Church sources, then labeled outside sources)

Perfect For

• Personal and family Come, Follow Me study of Luke 2, and Christmas lessons any year
• Family home evening
• Primary, Sunday School, youth and seminary teachers
• Adults who want a deeper, well-sourced study
