SCRIPTURE COMMENTARY #36
And behold there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon: and this man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel. And the Holy Ghost was in him.
And he had received an answer from the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord. (Luke 2:25-26)
JESUS IS THE MESSIAH: The Holy Ghost revealed Him as such to Simeon, who, full of joy, greeted Him as the Savior of all men, and the Light of revelation to the Gentiles.
[From 'A Practical Commentary on Holy Scripture' by Bishop Knecht, D.D.]
(1899 Douay-Rheims Bible)
