But Scripture records:
“Master, now you are dismissing your servant in peace, according to your word; for my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel”
(Luke 2:28–32)
Simeon speaking here.
Luke 2:28–32 records the realization of prophesy by Shim‘on, not induction as a talmid (disciple). Culturally speaking, there’s a bit more to the process of becoming a talmid. It’s a reasonably in-depth process. In that day, it involved immersion (baptism) “into” the teaching of whoever the talmid was following, among other things.
