And lo, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name is Simeon, and this man is righteous and devout, looking for the comforting of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him,

and she, at that hour, having come in, was confessing, likewise, to the Lord, and was speaking concerning him, to all those looking for redemption in Jerusalem.

And the people are looking forward, and all are reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether or not he may be the Christ;

And it came to pass, in the turning back of Jesus, the multitude received him, for they were all looking for him,

and Jesus said unto him, 'No one having put his hand on a plough, and looking back, is fit for the reign of God.'

And the people were standing, looking on, and the rulers also were sneering with them, saying, 'Others he saved, let him save himself, if this be the Christ, the choice one of God.'
