Berean Standard Bible
Luke 2:25-35
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. 27Led by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts.1 And when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for Him what was customary under the Law, 28Simeon took Him in his arms and blessed God, saying:
29“Sovereign 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.”
33The 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 causethe 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.”
