Luke 2:25-35

There was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was filled with the HOLY SPIRIT, and was waiting for Israel to be rescued. It had been revealed to him by the HOLY SPIRIT that he would not die before he had seen the LORD's MESSIAH. Led by the SPIRIT, he came to the temple. And when Joseph and Mary brought the child JESUS according to the custom of the law, he took him up in his arms and praised GOD, saying, "LORD, just as you promised, now I can die in peace. For my eyes have seen the SAVIOR which you have prepared for all the people - a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of your people, Israel." Joseph and Mary marveled at the things which were said about him. Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary, his mother, "Behold, this child is appointed to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against. A sword will pierce your very soul, so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed."
