2:29Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:

2:30For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

2:31Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;

2:32A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.

2:33And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.

2:34And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;

2:35(Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
