Luke 2:26-33
Christian Standard Bible
26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit(A) that he would not see death before he saw the Lord’s Messiah.(B) 27 Guided by the Spirit, he entered the temple. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to perform for him what was customary under the law, 28 Simeon took him up in his arms, praised God, and said,
29 Now, Master,
you can dismiss your servant in peace,
as you promised.
30 For my eyes have seen your salvation.(C)
31 You have prepared it
in the presence of all peoples—
32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles[a](D)
and glory to your people Israel.(E)
33 His father and mother[b] were amazed at what was being said about him.

26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Messiah. 27 Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required,(A) 28 Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying:
29 “Sovereign Lord, as you have promised,(B)
you may now dismiss[a] your servant in peace.(C)
30 For my eyes have seen your salvation,(D)
31 which you have prepared in the sight of all nations:
32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles,
and the glory of your people Israel.”(E)
33 The child’s father and mother marveled at what was said about him.
