Porque os meus olhos viram a vossa salvação
Lucas 2:30
Comentário de Albert Barnes
Tua salvação – Aquele que deve obter salvação para o seu povo; ou o Salvador.
Comentário de E.W. Bullinger
Tua salvação . Grego. a soterion (não a soteria usual ). Usado pelo próprio Jeová (não apenas pela salvação como tal). Veja Isaías 62:11 . Compare Lucas 3: 6 .
Comentário de John Calvin
30. For my eyes have seen This mode of expression is very common in Scripture; but Simeon appears to denote expressly the bodily appearance of Christ, as if he had said, that he now has the Son of God present in the flesh, on whom the eyes of his mind had been previously fixed. By saving (197) I understand the matter of salvation: for in Christ are hid all the parts of salvation and of a happy life. Now if the sight of Christ, while he was yet a child, had so powerful an effect on Simeon, that he approached death with cheerfulness and composure; how much more abundant materials of lasting peace are now furnished to us, who have the opportunity of beholding our salvation altogether completed in Christ? True, Christ no longer dwells on earth, nor do we carry him in our arms: but his divine majesty shines openly and brightly in the gospel, and there do “we all,” as Paul says, “behold as in a glass the glory of the Lord,” — not as formerly amidst the weakness of flesh, but in the glorious power of the Spirit, which he displayed in his miracles, in the sacrifice of his death, and in his resurrection. In a word, his absence from us in body is of such a nature, that we are permitted to behold him sitting at the right hand of the Father. If such a sight does not bring peace to our minds, and make us go cheerfully to death, we are highly ungrateful to God, and hold the honor, which he has bestowed upon us, in little estimation.
Comentário de Adam Clarke
Tua salvação – Aquele Salvador que se tornou bondade de Deus para conceder ao homem, e que as necessidades da raça humana exigiam. Cristo é chamado nossa salvação, como ele é chamado nossa vida, nossa paz, nossa esperança; ou seja, ele é o autor de tudo isso, para aqueles que acreditam.
Comentário de Thomas Coke
Lucas 2: 30-32 . Mine eyes have seen, &c.— Simeon, being well acquainted with the prophetic writings, knew from them that the Messiah was to be the Author of a great salvation, which, because it was planned by God, this pious man very properly refers to God;— thy salvation. He knew likewise that this salvation was not designed for the Jews only, but for all mankind; therefore he says, Luke 2:31 that it was prepared by God, to set before the face of all people, as the glorious object of their faith and hope: withal, because in the prophesies the Messiah is introduced teaching and ruling the Gentiles, he calls him after Isaiah, A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of Israel; whom he greatly honoured by condescending to arise among them.
