Luke 2:27-33

27Moved by the Spirit, Simeon went into the temple courtyard. Mary and Joseph were bringing the child Jesus into the courtyard at the same time. They brought him so that they could do for him what Moses’ Teachings required.

28Then Simeon took the child in his arms and praised God by saying,

29“Now, Lord, you are allowing your servant to leave in peace as you promised.

30My eyes have seen your salvation,

31which you have prepared for all people to see.

32He is a light that will reveal ⌞salvation⌟ to the nations and bring glory to your people Israel.”

33Jesus’ father and mother were amazed at what was said about him.
