Luke 2:25-35
The Prophecy of Simeon

25 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name [was] Simeon; and the same man [was] just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.

25:

26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.

26:

27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,

27:

28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,

28:

29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:

29:

30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

30:

31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;

31:

32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.

32:

33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.

33:

34 And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this [child] is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;

34:

35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.

35:
