Luke 2:34 Commentary - Whedon's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

34. Unto Mary Simeon blesses both, but he addresses Mary. He recognizes that she and not the husband is the parent.

Is set for the fall and rising again Is set should rather be rendered is laid or lies. It is a metaphor drawn from a stone over which some are seen stumbling and falling, others seen rising. So this child is the test by which men shall stand or fall. The phrase rising again is better translated uprising. It does not mean that those who rise are those who have fallen. Christ is the test, by faith in whom men shall rise or fall by unbelief. The Jewish nation fell; the apostles, the primitive Church, the believing Gentiles rose.

A sign A sign which indicated God’s will to men, yet a mark at which calumny should aim its shafts.
