(30) Mine eyes have seen thy salvation.--The Greek word is not the usual feminine noun expressing the abstract idea of salvation, but the neuter of the adjective--that which brings or works out salvation. Its use here is probably determined by its appearance in the LXX. version of Isaiah 52:10, as quoted in Luke 3:6. He saw in that infant child the means of deliverance for the world.Luke 2:30 captures Simeon’s joyful recognition that God has kept His word in sending Jesus. The conjunction “for” ties his peace to divine faithfulness. “My eyes” highlights personal, eyewitness assurance. “Have seen” underscores fulfilled prophecy made visible. “Your” credits God alone as the author of redemption. “Salvation” points directly to Jesus, the promised deliverer for Jew and Gentile alike. Taken together, the verse invites us to behold Christ with the same confident certainty: God’s salvation has arrived, and in Him every promise stands fulfilled. Parallel Commentaries ...
