At that time there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon. He was righteous and devout and was eagerly waiting for the Messiah to come and rescue Israel. The Holy Spirit was upon him and had revealed to him that he would not die until he had seen the Lord’s Messiah.That day the Spirit led him to the Temple. So when Mary and Joseph came to present the baby Jesus to the Lord as the law required, “Sovereign Lord, now let your servant die in peace,as you have promised. I have seen your salvation, which you have prepared for all people.He is a light to reveal God to the nations,and he is the glory of your people Israel!”
Luke 2:25-32
