Luke 2:25-26 - Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
I wonder who Simeon was; that is, did he have a family? How old was he? What was his job? (We aren't told he was a prophet before he met Jesus.) How long did he live after seeing Jesus? Besides the prophesying, did God set him apart for any other special reason?
