A detailed intertextual analysis of the links between Mt 2:13-15 and theLucan text of Acts 3 leads to the conclusion that the text of Mt 2:13-15 isan outcome of a strictly sequential, but on the other hand a highly creativereworking of the ideas, motifs, and key words which occur in Acts 3.Therefore, it can be argued that the quotation from LXX Hos 11:1, whichconcludes the text of Mt 2:13-15, was used and consciously modified byMatthew in order to illustrate intertextually the Lucan ideas which arecontained in the concluding part of Acts 3: the fulfilment in Jesus of thatwhich God foretold by the prophets (Acts 3:18,21), Jesus as the new Prophetlike Moses (Acts 3:22-24), and Jesus being in a particular relationship withGod (Acts 3:25-26).

The article presents an analysis of three figures of Lucan version of the infancy narrative: Zechariah (Luc 1,5-23.57-79), Simeon (Luc 2,25-35), and Anna (Luc 2,36-38). There at least two thing that make these people alike: they are all in their old age and they pray to God. Even though the material concerning these personages is not fully comparable, it is possible to capture some similarities in their prayer: historical perspective, eschatological dimension, and universalism. All these three people not only pray to God but also the bear a witness to God.

Whether God planned for people physical death and senility (are the death and senility a consequence of the original sin?) or not, is still an open question in modern theology. In the Infancy Narratives (Luke 1–2) the evangelist presents the four old persons: Zechariah, Elisabeth, Simeon, and Anne. Exegetical and theological examination of the texts concerning these individuals leads to some characteristics which are common for all or for most of them. Among them we can enumerate the following ones: remaining in God’s presence in Jerusalem temple, continuing to pray, being led and inspired by the Holy Spirit (prophecy included), expecting the coming of the Messiah and living according to the God’s Law (righteousness). It seems, however, that the most important characteristic of the old age is sensibility in recognizing God’s inspiration.
