AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁵ Now there was a righteous and devoted man named Simeon at Jerusalem, who was expecting the consolation of the Israelites [i.e., the coming of the Messiah to save them], and the Holy Spirit was upon him. ²⁶ Now it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die until he had seen the Lord’s Christ [i.e., God’s, specially chosen one]. ²⁷ And he was led by the Holy Spirit into the Temple, and when Joseph and Mary brought the baby Jesus in, so they could do to Him what was customary under the law of Moses, ²⁸ Simeon took Jesus in his arms, praised God and said, ²⁹ “Master, you may now allow your servant to be released [i.e., die] in peace, according to what you said. ³⁰ For my eyes have seen your salvation [i.e., Jesus], ³¹ which [i.e., whom] you have prepared before all people [i.e., for their benefit], ³² [to be] a light for revealing [God’s way of salvation] to the [unconverted] Gentiles, and a [source of] glory to your people, the Israelites.”
