Lk 2, Verses 28–32English original
—and blessed God, and said, Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
(non occ.) For the Gentiles before the coming of Christ were lying in the deepest darkness, being without the knowledge of God.
