Simeon and Anna were in the Temple at Jerusalem.
Simeon and Anna were two godly Israelites in the temple who recognized that Jesus was the messiah. Simeon had been waiting to see the Messiah before he died, while Anna, a prophetess, praised God and spoke about Jesus to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.
Simeon was the holy man from the Gospel of Luke who was allowed to see the Messiah, Jesus, before he died. He prophesied sorrow for Mary, saying a sword will pierce her soul, referring to the pain she would experience watching her son's crucifixion.
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.
Simeon, a devout man in Jerusalem, expressed his gratitude for living long enough to see the Messiah when he encountered the infant Jesus in the temple. This account is recorded in the Gospel of Luke in the Bible.
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.

The two people who witnessed the presentation of Jesus in the temple as a baby were Simeon and Anna. Simeon was a devout man who had been promised by God that he would not die before seeing the Messiah, and Anna was a prophetess who recognized Jesus as the Redeemer.
It had been revealed to Simeon, the man who spoke these words (Luke 2:26), that he would not die until he had seen the Christ, the LORD'S anointed one. When Simeon saw Jesus he recognised him as being the Messiah. Then Simeon said to God "Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace, According to Your word; For my eyes have seen Your salvation". Simeon was saying he could now leave this world in peace because he had seen God's saviour, who had been promised in the Old Testament.
