Day 3

Luke 2: 28-32
28 
Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying:

29 
‘Sovereign Lord, as you have promised,

you may now dismiss your servant in peace.

30 For my eyes have seen your salvation,
31     which you have prepared in the sight of all nations:
32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles,
    and the glory of your people Israel.’

Luke 2: 49
49 ‘Why were you searching for me?’ he asked. ‘Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?’

John 1: 10-12
10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognise him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.
