Luke 2:30-35

30For my eyes have 1seen Your salvation,31Which You have prepared in the presence of all the peoples:322A light for revelation 3for the Gentiles, And the glory of Your people Israel.”

33And His father and 4mother were amazed at the things which were being said about Him. 34And Simeon blessed them and said to 5His mother Mary, “Behold, this Child is appointed for 6the fall and 7rise of many in Israel, and as a sign to be 8opposed-- 35and a sword will pierce your own soul--to the end that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed.”
