Luke 2:25-35 - The Prophecy Of Simeon

25 And there was a man at Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and he was a just and a religious man, who expected the consolation of Israel; and the holy Spirit was upon him. 26 And it was revealed to him by the holy Spirit, that he should not die before he had seen the Anointed of the Lord. 27 And he came by the influence of the Spirit into the temple, as his parents brought in the child Jesus to do concerning Him according to the custom of the law: 28 and he took Him into his arms,

29 and blessed God, and said, "Now, Lord, thou dismissest thy servant in peace, according to thy word; 30 for mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast provided in the sight of all people, 31 a light for the enlightening of the Gentiles, 32 and the glory of thy people Israel."

33 And Joseph and his mother were amazed at the things that were spoken concerning Him. 34 And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising again of many in Israel, and for a sign which shall be spoken against, 35 (and a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also) that the thoughts of many hearts may be discovered.
