Context of Luke 2:27

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. So 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.
