the prophecy of Simeon

(hope/anxiety about the future);

Simeon was a very holy old Jew who was in the Temple when Mary and Joseph brought the baby Jesus there to be presented to the Lord. Simeon very quickly believed that Jesus was the Messiah who had been promised to the Jewish People. Simeon said to Mary:

‘You see this child: he is destined for the fall and for the rising of many in Israel, destined to be a sign that is rejected - and a sword will pierce your own soul too - so that the secret thoughts of many may be laid bare.’ (Luke 2:34-35)

“the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, ‘Get up, take the child and his mother with you and escape into Egypt and stay there until I tell you, because Herod intends to search for the child and do away with him’.” (Matt 2:13)

“When they were on their way home (from Jerusalem) after the feast, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem without his parents knowing it. . . . . . . Three days later, they found him in the Temple, sitting among the doctors, listening to them and asking questions; and all those who heard him were astounded at his intelligence and his replies. . . His mother said to him, ‘My child, why have you done this to us? See how worried your father and I have been, looking for you’.” (Luke 2:43, 46-48)
