The Bible does not tell us how old Simeon was or when he died. The verses in Luke 2 relating to Simeon are followed by another very similar incident where a woman named Anna spoke, giving thanks to the Lord for the new-born Saviour. She was a widow for 84 years and of "a great age" we are told. So some see this as evidence that Simeon also was elderly.

He most likely was elderly, as verse 26 states that the Holy Spirit had revealed to him he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ, the new-born Child, but as for his age of death we are not told.
