Luke 2:28-35
Holman Christian Standard Bible
28 Simeon took Him up in his arms, praised God, and said:
29 Now, Master,
You can dismiss Your slave in peace,
as You promised.
30 For my eyes have seen Your salvation.(A)
31 You have prepared it
in the presence of all peoples—
32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles[a](B)
and glory to Your people Israel.(C)
33 His father and mother[b] were amazed at what was being said about Him. 34 Then Simeon blessed them and told His mother Mary: “Indeed, this child is destined to cause the fall and rise of many in Israel(D) and to be a sign that will be opposed[c]— 35 and a sword will pierce your own soul—that the thoughts[d] of many hearts may be revealed.”

And a sword will pierce your own soul too.”
