Best Answer

Simeon was a righteous and devout man who lived in Jerusalem. The Holy Spirit revealed to him that he would die before he saw the Messiah. Simeon went to the temple and held the Christ Child, and blessed the family.

The prophet Anna was a widow who never left the temple after her husband passed away seven years after her wedding. She spread the news about the Christ Child to everyone in Jerusalem looking for redemption.

How can Simeon's encounter with Jesus at the temple be explained?

The passage in which Simeon blessed the baby Jesus and prophesied great things was an opportunity to prove to the readers of Luke's Gospel that Jesus was indeed the son of God. For some reason, Simeon, alone of all people, had been promised that he would not die before he saw the Lord's Anointed (Christ). Simeon recognised Jesus as the Christ as soon as he saw him, and blessed the young family. The author of Luke often used repetition to ensure certainty among his readers, so the story of Simeon was immediately followed by the story of Anna the prophetess.
