Darby Bible
Luke 2:25-35
25And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and this man was just and pious, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and [the] Holy Spirit was upon him.
26And it was divinely communicated to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death before he should see [the] Lord's Christ.
27And he came in the Spirit into the temple; and as the parents brought in the child Jesus that they might do for him according to the custom of the law,
28he received him into his arms, and blessed 1God, and said,
29Lord, now thou lettest thy bondman go, according to thy word, in peace;
30for mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
31which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples;
32a light for revelation of [the] Gentiles and [the] glory of thy people Israel.
33And his father and mother wondered at the things which were said concerning him.
34And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, Lo, this [child] is set for the fall and rising up of many in Israel, and for a sign spoken against;
35(and even a sword shall go through thine own soul;) so that [the] thoughts may be revealed from many hearts.
