Luke 2:22-32

22And when the days of their purification were fulfilled, according to the Torah of Moses, they brought Him to Jerusalem to present to Adonai.

23As it is written in the Torah of Adonai, “Every firstborn male that opens the womb shall be called holy to Adonai.”

24So they offered a sacrifice according to what was said in the Torah of Adonai: “a pair of turtle doves, or two young pigeons.”

25Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and pious, waiting for the consolation of Israel. The Ruach ha-Kodesh was on him.

26And it had been revealed to him by the Ruach ha-Kodesh that he would not die before he had seen the Anointed One of Adonai.

27So in the Ruach, Simeon came into the Temple; and when the parents brought the Child Yeshua to do for Him according to the custom of the Torah,

28Simeon received Him into his arms and offered a bracha to God, saying,

29“Now may You let Your servant go in peace, O Sovereign Master, according to Your word.

30For my eyes have seen Your salvation,

31which You have prepared in the presence of all peoples:

32‘A light for revelation to the nations’ and the glory of Your people Israel.”
