25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

26 And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he should see the Lord's Christ.

27 So he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when the parents brought in the Child Jesus, that they might do for Him according to the custom of the law,

28 he took Him up in his arms and blessed God and said:

29 "Lord, now You are releasing Your servant in peace, according to Your word;

30 for my eyes have seen Your salvation

31 which You have prepared before the face of all peoples,

32 a light for a revelation to the Gentiles, and a glory to Your people Israel."
