Isaiah 9:6-7

A child is born to us, a son is given to us,

    and authority will be on his shoulders.

    He will be named

    Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

    Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.

⁷ There will be vast authority and endless peace

    for David’s throne and for his kingdom,

    establishing and sustaining it

    with justice and righteousness

    now and forever.

Luke 2:29-32

 Simeon took Jesus in his arms and praised God. He said,

²⁹ “Now, master, let your servant go in peace according to your word,
³⁰     because my eyes have seen your salvation.
³¹ You prepared this salvation in the presence of all peoples.
³² It’s a light for revelation to the Gentiles
and a glory for your people Israel.”
