Responsum [acceperat]1 Simeon a Spiritu Sancto, non visurum se mortem nisi videret Christum Domini. Et benedixit Deum et dixit: Nunc dimittis servum tuum Domine secundum verbum tuum in pace: Quia viderunt oculi mei salutare tuum, Domine. Cum ergo cognovisset, accepit eum in ulnas suas et portabatur et ait: Nunc dimittis servum tuum Domine secundum verbum tuum in pace: Quia viderunt oculi mei salutare tuum, Domine.
