²⁵ And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and this man was just and pious, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and [the] Holy Spirit was upon him.

²⁶ And it was divinely communicated to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death before he should see [the] Lord's Christ.

²⁷ And he came in the Spirit into the temple; and as the parents brought in the child Jesus that they might do for him according to the custom of the law,

²⁸ *he* received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,

²⁹ Lord, now thou lettest thy bondman go, according to thy word, in peace;

³⁰ for mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

³¹ which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples;

³² a light for revelation of [the] Gentiles and [the] glory of thy people Israel.

³⁸ and she coming up the same hour gave praise to the Lord, and spoke of him to all those who waited for redemption in Jerusalem.
