“Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;”
Which you have prepared in the sight of all nations — the salvation is prepared (hētoimasas, made ready) in the sight of all nations: not a private Jewish affair but a universal disclosure. The nations (laōn, peoples) includes Israel and all Gentile peoples — the scope of the salvation that Simeon holds is as wide as humanity. The sight of all nations communicates that this salvation will not remain hidden but will be disclosed to every people.
