Luke 2:25-35

25And beholdG2400, there wasG1510 a manG444 in JerusalemG2419, whose nameG3686 wasG1510 SimeonG4826; and this manG444 wasG1510 righteousG1342 and devoutG2126, looking for the consolation of IsraelG2474: and the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 wasG1510 upon him. 26And it had beenG1510 revealed unto him by the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, that he should not seeG3708 deathG2288, before he had seenG3708 the Lord’s ChristG5547. 27And he cameG2064 in the SpiritG4151 into the temple: and when the parentsG1118 broughtG1521 in the childG3813 JesusG2424, that they might do concerningG4012 him after the custom of the lawG3551, 28then he receivedG1209 him into his arms, and blessedG2127 GodG2316, and saidG3004,

29NowG3568 lettest thou thy servantG1401 depart, LordG1203,AccordingG2596 to thy word, in peaceG1515;30For mineG1473 eyesG3788 have seenG3708 thy salvation,31Which thou hast preparedG2090 before the faceG4383 of all peoplesG2992;32A lightG5457 for revelationG602 to the GentilesG1484,And the gloryG1391 of thy peopleG2992 IsraelG2474.

33And his fatherG3962 and his motherG3384 wereG1510 marvelling at the things which wereG1510 spokenG2980 concerningG4012 him; 34and SimeonG4826 blessedG2127 them, and saidG3004 unto MaryG3137 his motherG3384, BeholdG2400, this child is setG2749 for the falling and the rising of manyG4183 in IsraelG2474; and for a signG4592 which is spoken against; 35yea and a swordG4501 shall pierce through thine own soulG5590; that thoughtsG1261 out of manyG4183 heartsG2588 may be revealedG601.
