luke 2:25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel; and the Holy Spirit was upon him.


      25. just--upright in his moral character.
      devout--of a religious frame of spirit.
      waiting for the consolation of Israel--a beautiful title of the coming Messiah, here intended.
      the Holy Ghost was--supernaturally.
      upon him--Thus was the Spirit, after a dreary absence of nearly four hundred years, returning to the Church, to quicken expectation, and prepare for coming events.

JFB.
