* And , behold , there was a man in Jerusalem , whose name was Simeon ; and the same man was just and devout , waiting for the consolation of Israel : and the Holy Ghost was upon him . * And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost , that he should not see death , before he had seen the Lord 's Christ . * And he came by the Spirit into the temple : and when the parents brought in the child Jesus , to do for him after the custom of the law , * Then took he him up in his arms , and blessed God , and said , * Lord , now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace , according to thy word : * For mine eyes have seen thy salvation , * Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people ; * A light to lighten the Gentiles , and the glory of thy people Israel . * And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him . * And 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 ; * (Yea , a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also ,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed .
