And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

²⁶

And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ.

²⁷

So he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when the parents brought in the Child Jesus, to do for Him according to the custom of the law,

²⁸

he took Him up in his arms and blessed God and said:

²⁹

Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace, According to Your word;

³⁰

For my eyes have seen Your salvation

³¹

Which You have prepared before the face of all peoples,

³²

A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, And the glory of Your people Israel."
