Mary and Joseph bring baby Jesus to the temple and two elderly prophets who've been waiting their whole lives immediately clock who he is.
Simeon is this righteous old man who the Holy Spirit promised wouldn't die until he saw the Messiah. He takes baby Jesus in his arms and drops the Nunc Dimittis — basically saying 'I can die happy now, I've seen the salvation of the world.' Then Anna, an 84-year-old prophet who literally lives at the temple, starts telling everyone this baby is the one. The elders recognized what the religious establishment would later miss. That hits different.
