*
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 .
