Luke 2:30-35

30For my eyes have seen Your Salvation,

31Which You have prepared in the presence of all peoples,

32A Light for revelation to the Gentiles [to disclose what was previously unknown], And [to bring] the praise and honor and glory of Your people Israel.”

33And His [legal] father and His mother were amazed at what was said about Him.

34Simeon blessed them and said to Mary His mother, “Listen carefully: this Child is appointed and destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and for a sign that is to be opposed—

35and a sword [of deep sorrow] will pierce through your own soul—so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
