002:026 To him it had been revealed by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death until he had seen the Lord's Anointed One.
002:027 Led by the Spirit he came to the Temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do with regard to Him according to the custom of the Law,
002:028 he took Him up in his arms and blessed God and said,
002:029 "Now, O Sovereign Lord, Thou dost send Thy servant away in peace, in fulfilment of Thy word,
002:030 Because mine eyes have seen Thy salvation,
002:031 Which Thou hast made ready in the sight of all nations—
002:032 A light to shine upon the Gentiles, And the glory of
Thy people Israel."
002:033 And while the child's father and mother were wondering at
the words of Symeon concerning Him,
002:034 Symeon blessed them and said to Mary the mother, "This child is appointed for the falling and the uprising of many in Israel and for a token to be spoken against;
002:035 and a sword will pierce through your own soul also; that the reasonings in many hearts may be revealed."
