Luke 2:31
29 “Sovereign Lord, as You have promised, You now dismiss Your servant in peace.
30 For my eyes have seen Your salvation,
which You have prepared in the sight of all people,
32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to Your people Israel.”
33 The Child’s father and mother were amazed at what was spoken about Him.
