2:32 revelation to the Gentiles These references—coupled with the whole-world decree in Luke 2:1—speak to the worldwide significance of Jesus’ arrival (compare v. 10 and note; v. 31). This line echoes Isa 42:6, which explains the vocation of Yahweh’s Suffering Servant.​

2:28–32 Simeon’s words here are traditionally called the “Nunc Dimittis,” from wording in the Latin Vulgate translation. Simeon’s Divine Master had kept his promise that he would live to see Christ (i.e., your salvation), so he could now die (dismiss your servant). God’s salvation in Christ (v. 30) is for all peoples (the Gentiles and Israel). The worldwide scope of the gospel is Luke’s ongoing theme in both of his writings (his Gospel and the book of Acts).

He “beheld His glory” (Jn 1:14). In another view it was prior faith rewarded by present sight.


31, 32. all people—all the peoples, mankind at large.


a light to the Gentiles—then in thick darkness.


glory of thy people Israel—already Thine, and now, in the believing portion of it, to be so more gloriously than ever. It will be observed that this “swan-like song, bidding an eternal farewell to this terrestrial life” [Olshausen], takes a more comprehensive view of the kingdom of Christ than that of Zacharias, though the kingdom they sing of is one.
