The Prophecy of Simeon

The Prophecy of Simeon

25Now there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon, [who] [was] righteous and devout. He was waiting for [the] consolation of Israel, and [the] Holy Spirit was upon him. 26The Holy Spirit had revealed to him [that he would] not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. 27[Led by] the Spirit, he went into the temple [courts].[fn] And when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for Him what was customary under the Law, 28[Simeon] took Him in [his] arms and blessed God, saying:

29Sovereign Lord, as You have promised, You now dismiss Your servant in peace.

30For my eyes have seen Your salvation,

31which You have prepared in the sight of all people,

32a light for revelation to [the] Gentiles, and for glory to Your people Israel.”

33[The Child’s] father and mother were amazed at what was spoken about Him.

34Then Simeon blessed them and said to His mother Mary: “Behold, this [Child] is appointed [to cause] [the] rise and fall of many in Israel, and [to be] a sign that will be spoken against,

35so that [the] thoughts of many hearts will be revealed—and a sword will pierce your soul as well.”


2:27 Literally the temple; also in verse 46
