Luke 2:25–35

²⁵And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and this man was just and pious, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. ²⁶And it was divinely communicated to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death before he should see the Lord’s Christ. ²⁷And he came in the Spirit into the temple; and as the parents brought in the child Jesus that they might do for him according to the custom of the law, ²⁸he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said, ²⁹Lord, now thou lettest thy bondman go, according to thy word, in peace; ³⁰for mine eyes have seen thy salvation, ³¹which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples; ³²a light for revelation of the Gentiles and the glory of thy people Israel. ³³And his father and mother wondered at the things which were said concerning him. ³⁴And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, Lo, this child is set for the fall and rising up of many in Israel, and for a sign spoken against; ³⁵(and even a sword shall go through thine own soul;) so that the thoughts may be revealed from many hearts.
