28Simeon went to them. He took Jesus and he held him in his arms. Then he thanked God. He said: 29‘Master, I am your servant. You have done what you promised to me. Now I can die with no trouble in my mind. I really have seen the person that you have sent to save your people. 31You have sent him to the world and people everywhere will know about him. 32He will bring light to people so that they can know you. He will show you to those people who are not Jews. He will also show that your people of Israel are very special.’
