Prophecy of Simeon
25 And behold there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon, and this man was just and religious, expecting the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was in him.
26 And he had received an answer of the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death unless he saw first the CHRIST of our Lord.
27 And he came in Spirit into the temple. And when his parents brought in the child JESUS, to do according to the custom of the Law for him,
28 he also took him into his arms, and blessed God, and said:
29 NOW THOU doest dismiss thy servant O Lord, according to thy word in peace.
30 Because mine eyes have seen thy SALVATION,
31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples:
32 A light to the revelation of the Gentiles, & the glory of thy people Israel.
33 And his father and mother were marveling upon those things which were spoken concerning him.
34 And Simeon blessed them, and said to MARY his mother: Behold this is set unto the ruin, and unto the resurrection of many in Israel, & for a sign which shall be contradicted,
35 and thine own soul shall a sword pierce, that out of many hearts cogitations may be revealed.
