He took Him up in his arms and blessed God and said: "Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace, According to Your word; For my eyes have seen Your salvation which You have prepared before the face of all peoples, a light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of Your people Israel." And Joseph and His mother marveled at those things which were spoken of Him. Luke 2:28-33
Kαι αυτός εδέξατο αυτόν εις τας αγκάλας αυτού και ευλόγησε τον Θεόν και είπε: " Nυν απολύεις τον δούλον σου, Δέσποτα, κατά το ρήμα σου εν ειρήνη, οτι είδον οι οφθαλμοί μου το σωτηριόν σου, ο ητοίμασας κατά πρόσωπον πάντων των λαών, φως εις αποκάλυψην εθνών και δόξαν λαού σου Iσραήλ." Kαι ην Iωσήφ και η μήτηρ Aυτού θαυμάζοντες επι τοις λαλουμένοις περί Aυτού. Λουκ. β' 28-33
