In Jerusalem there was a man named Simeon. He was a good and godly man. He was waiting for God’s promise to Israel to come true. The Holy Spirit was with him.

But we had hoped that he was the one who was going to set Israel free. Also, it is the third day since all this happened.

Let us give thanks to God for his gift. It is so great that no one can tell how wonderful it really is!

Joseph went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. Joseph was from the town of Arimathea. He was a leading member of the Jewish Council. He was waiting for God’s kingdom.

“ Give praise to the Lord, the God of Israel! He has come to his people and purchased their freedom.

Right away Zechariah could speak again. Right away he praised God.All his neighbors were filled with fear and wonder. Throughout Judea’s hill country, people were talking about all these things.Everyone who heard this wondered about it. And because the Lord was with John, they asked,“ What is this child going to be?”

Mary said,“ My soul gives glory to the Lord.My spirit delights in God my Savior.He has taken note of me even though I am not considered important. From now on all people will call me blessed.The Mighty One has done great things for me. His name is holy.He shows his mercy to those who have respect for him, from parent to child down through the years.He has done mighty things with his powerful arm. He has scattered those who are proud in their deepest thoughts.He has brought down rulers from their thrones. But he has lifted up people who are not considered important.He has filled with good things those who are hungry. But he has sent away empty those who are rich.He has helped the people of Israel, who serve him. He has always remembered to be kindto Abraham and his children down through the years. He has done it just as he promised to our people of long ago.”Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months. Then she returned home.

Give praise to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. He has blessed us with every spiritual blessing. Those blessings come from the heavenly world. They belong to us because we belong to Christ.

Simeon took Jesus in his arms and praised God. He said,“ Lord, you are the King over all. Now let me, your servant, go in peace. That is what you promised.My eyes have seen your salvation.You have prepared it in the sight of all nations.It is a light to be given to the Gentiles. It will be the glory of your people Israel.”

Joseph had not agreed with what the leaders had decided and done. He was from Arimathea, a town in Judea. He himself was waiting for God’s kingdom.
