Answer Details
The statement "Lord, now lettest thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word, for mine eyes have seen thy salvation" was said by a man named Simeon. According to the Bible, Simeon was a devout and righteous man who was promised by the Holy Spirit that he would not die until he had seen the Messiah. When Mary and Joseph brought Jesus to the temple to present him to the Lord, Simeon recognized Jesus as the Messiah and spoke these words of joy and praise. This event is often referred to as the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple, and it is recorded in the Gospel of Luke in the New Testament of the Bible.
