28 Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying:

29 “Sovereign Lord, as you have promised,(A)
    you may now dismiss[a] your servant in peace.(B)
30 For my eyes have seen your salvation,(C)
31     which you have prepared in the sight of all nations:
32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles,
    and the glory of your people Israel.”(D)
