“And his father and mother were wondering at those things which were spoken concerning him.”
On this verse:
“Behold what abundant grace is extended to all men by the birth of the Lord, and how prophecy is withheld from the unbelievers, not from the righteous. Simeon also prophesies that Christ Jesus has come for the fall and rising again of many.”
