路加福音 2章29节 到 2章29节 上一笔 下一笔 |
{Now lettest thou} ( un apolueis). Present active indicative, {Thou art letting}. The _Nunc Dimittis_, adoration and praise. It is full of rapture and vivid intensity (Plummer) like the best of the Psalms. The verb apolu(935c) was common for the manumission of slaves and Simeon here calls himself "thy slave (doulon sou), Lord (Despota, our despot)." See 2Pe 2:1 . |
