Luke 2:21-24

Jesus Presented at the Temple

21 And when 1eight days had passed, before His circumcision, 2His name was then called Jesus, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.
22 3And when the days for their purification according to the law of Moses were completed, they brought Him up to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord
23 (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, "4EVERY firstborn MALE THAT OPENS THE WOMB SHALL BE CALLED HOLY TO THE LORD "),
24 and to offer a sacrifice according to what was said in the Law of the Lord, "5A PAIR OF TURTLEDOVES OR TWO YOUNG PIGEONS."
