This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

32. εἰς ἀποκάλυψιν ἐθνῶν ‘for revelation to.’ A memorable prophecy, considering that even the Apostles found it hard to grasp the full admission of the Gentiles, clearly as it had been indicated in older prophecy, e.g. in Psa 98:2-3, “All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God,” Isa 52:10. “I will give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles,” Isa 42:6; Isa 49:6. Godet after pointing out the depth and energy of the Nunc Dimittis excellently remarks “La banalité légendaire n’a pas plus de part à la composition de ce joyau lyrique que la préoccupation dogmatique.”
