Simeon, son of Hillel? Luke 2:25 ,  34 Excerpt Many expositors have believed that this Simeon was identical with Simeon (Shimeon) the son of the famous Hillel, and the father of Gamaliel. This Simeon became president of the Sanhedrin in  a.d.  13. Strangely enough, the Mishna, which preserves a record of the sayings and works of the great rabbis, passes by this Simeon. The curious silence of the Mishna here was, perhaps, owing to the hatred which this famous teacher incurred because of his belief in Jesus of Nazareth. Such an identification, although interesting, is, however, very precarious, the name Simeon being so very common among the people.  More Spence-Jones, H. D. M., ed.  St. Luke . Vol. 1.

Simeon Luke 2:25 ,  34 Excerpt A man in Jerusalem who was righteous and devout and who was looking for ‘the consolation of Israel’ ( Lk. 2:25–35 ). He is not to be identified with Rabbi Simon ben Hillel. He was one of the remnants who was longing for the coming of the Messiah and had received a direct revelation that he would not die before seeing the Messiah with his own eyes. When the presentation of Jesus was about to take place he was guided by the Spirit to come into the Temple. On seeing Jesus he uttered the hymn of praise now known as the  *Nunc Dimittis . He saw that the Messiah would vindicate Israel in the eyes of the Gentiles. Simeon went on to speak to the astonished Mary of the role of Christ within Israel. He was to be like a stone causing some to fall and some to rise. He was to be a sign which would not be needed but spoken against ( 34 ). Her own suffering as she watched his life and death was to be acute and he was to reveal the  inmost thoughts...
