Luke 2:30-31

2:30 For my eyes have seen your salvation

2:31 that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples:


sn To see Jesus, the Messiah, is to see God’s salvation.

sn Is the phrase all peoples a reference to Israel alone, or to both Israel and the Gentiles? The following verse makes it clear that all peoples includes Gentiles, another key Lukan emphasis (Luke 24:47; Acts 10:34-43).
