Summary/Abstract: Pericope Luke 2:33–35, which is a part of the Gospel scene of Jesus’ sacrifice in the Jerusalem temple, contains the second part of the words spoken by Simeon. They are prophetic and foretell the fate of Jesus. The Son of God will lead many people to fall or rise and become a sign of opposition to them. The direct addressee of Simeon’s prophecy is Mary, whose life connects closely with the salvific mission of her Son. Therefore, as a Sorrowful Mother, she will expe¬rience suffering that will penetrate her soul like a sword.
