Luke 2:25-32
New King James Version
Simeon Sees God’s Salvation
25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and devout, (A)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 (B)see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. 27 So he came (C)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, (D)now You are letting Your servant depart in peace,
According to Your word;
30 For my eyes (E)have seen Your salvation
31 Which You have prepared before the face of all peoples,
32 (F)A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles,
And the glory of Your people Israel.”
