And all people will see God's salvation — the extension of the Isaiah citation to include all people (pasa sarx, all flesh) is Luke's most distinctive element of the quotation. The universalism is Luke's consistent emphasis: the salvation that arrives through John's preparation is not for Israel alone but for every human being. The salvation that Simeon held in his arms (2:30) is now announced as the universal vision.
