Luke 2:29-35

29“Now, Lord, You are letting Your bond-servant depart in peace, 1According to Your word;30For my eyes have 2seen Your salvation,31Which You have prepared in the presence of all the peoples:323A light for revelation 4for the Gentiles, And the glory of Your people Israel.”

33And His father and 5mother were amazed at the things which were being said about Him. 34And Simeon blessed them and said to 6His mother Mary, “Behold, this Child is appointed for 7the fall and 8rise of many in Israel, and as a sign to be 9opposed-- 35and a sword will pierce your own soul--to the end that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed.”
