Luke 2:25-35 - The Prophecy Of Simeon
25 Now there was in Jerusalem a man named Symeon, an upright, devout man; he was expecting to see the consolation of Israel, and he was under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. 26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not die without seeing the Lord's Messiah. 27 So under the Spirit's guidance he went into the temple, and when the parents brought the child Jesus there to do for Him as the custom of the law required, 28 Symeon also took Him in his arms and blessed God, and said:
29 "Now, Master, you will let your slave go free in peace, as you have promised; 30 for my eyes have seen your Salvation, 31 which you prepared before all peoples, 32 a light of revelation to the heathen, and a glory to your people Israel."
33 And His father and mother kept wondering at the things spoken by Symeon about Him. 34 Then Symeon gave them his blessing, and said to Mary, the child's mother, "This child is destined to bring the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign continuously disputed -- 35 yea, a sword will pierce your heart -- so that the secret purposes of many hearts will be revealed."
