Day 20 Luke 2:27-35
Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When
the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law
required, 28 Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying:
“Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you now dismiss your
servant in peace. For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared
in the sight of all people, a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for
glory to your people Israel.”
The child’s father and mother marveled at what
was said about him. Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother:
“This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and
to be a sign that will be spoken against, so that the thoughts of many hearts
will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too.”
