The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 2:21-40

The circumcision and presentation of Jesus. We pass now from the angel's sermon and the shepherds' faithful verification of it to the next notable events in the great life which embodies the gospel for mankind. And we have here— I. THE CIRCUMCISION . ( Luke 2:21 .) This was the admission of Jesus when only eight days old into the Old Testament Church. It was a painful, bloody process, and as such it was the beginning of that life of suffering upon which God's Son had determined... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 2:31-32

Before the face of all people; a Light to lighten the Gentiles ; more accurately rendered, all peoples . Men like Isaiah, who lived several centuries before the nativity, with their glorious farreaching prophecies, such as Isaiah 52:10 , were far in advance of the narrow, selfish Jewish schools of the age of Jesus Christ. It was, perhaps, the hardest lesson the apostles and first teachers of the faith had to master—this full, free admission of the vast Gentile world into the kingdom of... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 2:32

A light to lighten the Gentiles - This is in accordance with the prophecies in the Old Testament, Isaiah 49:0; Isaiah 9:6-7; Psalms 98:3; Malachi 4:2. The Gentiles are represented as sitting in darkness that is, in ignorance and sin. Christ is a “light” to them, as by him they will be made acquainted with the character of the true God, his law, and the plan of redemption. As the darkness rolls away when the sun arises, so ignorance and error flee away when Jesus gives light to the mind. Nations... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 2:25-33

Luke 2:25-33. Behold there was a man, &c. There was now in Jerusalem one Simeon, venerable on account of his age, piety, and virtue. For, he was just and devout Righteous toward his fellow-creatures, and holy toward God; waiting for the consolation of Israel A common phrase for the Messiah, who was to be the everlasting consolation of the Israel of God. And the Holy Ghost was upon him That is, as the word here signifies, he was a prophet. And it was revealed unto him, &c.... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 2:25-38

10. Simeon and Anna (Luke 2:25-38)In separate incidents, two people at the temple recognized Jesus as the promised Messiah. The first was a man named Simeon. Unlike most Jews, Simeon had the spiritual insight to understand the sort of person the Messiah would be. He acknowledged that Jesus was the promised Messiah, and that he would bring glory to Israel and salvation to the Gentiles (Luke 2:25-32).Having praised God for the coming of Jesus, Simeon turned to address Mary. He saw that one day... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 2:30-32

Luke 2:30-32. Mine eyes have seen, &c.— Simeon, being well acquainted with the prophetic writings, knew from them that the Messiah was to be the Author of a great salvation, which, because it was planned by God, this pious man very properly refers to God;—thy salvation. He knew likewise that this salvation was not designed for the Jews only, but for all mankind; therefore he says, Luk 2:31 that it was prepared by God, to set before the face of all people, as the glorious object of their... read more
