NASB | Luke 2:34 And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary His mother, "Behold, this Child is appointed for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and for a sign to be opposed-- |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Luke 2:34 Simeon blessed them and said to Mary His mother, "Listen carefully: this Child is appointed and destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and for a sign that is to be opposed-- [Is 8:14, 15] |
Bible Question: Why did Simeon only address Mary? Is this more edvidence that Joesph was not living when Jesus started His ministry? |
Bible Answer: Hello again Steve! Perhaps Simeon was also referring to the personal grief that Mary would endure when she watched her own Son and Savior die in agony (John 19:25). Joseph (presumably dead by then) would not be stricken this way if he were dead. That may be why Mary was specifically addressed and not Joseph. Blessings to you, Nolan |
