“Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,”
King James Version (KJV)
2:27 By the Spirit - By a particular revelation or impulse from him.
2:30 Thy salvation - Thy Christ, thy Saviour.
Lu 2:28 And said. The utterances of Elizabeth, Mary and Simeon are consecutive. Each begins where the other ends. Mary sings her own born Messiah, Zacharias celebrates the triumph of Israel, and Simeon announces the hopes of the Gentiles.
