And, behold, there was a man in
Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon;
and the same man was just and devout, wait-
ing for the consolation of Israel: and the
Holy Ghost was upon him. And it was
revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that
he should not see death, before he had seen
the Lord's Christ.
And he came by the Spirit into the
temple: and when the parents brought in
the child Jesus, to do for him after the cus-
tom of the law, Then took he him up in his
arms, and blessed God, and said, Lord, now
lettest thou thy servant depart in peace,
according to thy word: For mine eyes have
seen thy salvation, Which thou hast pre-
pared before the face of all people; A light
to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy
people Israel.
~ Luke 2:25-32
