Luke 2:21-24

Jesus Presented at the Temple

21 When the eight days before His circumcision had passed, He was named Jesus, the name the angel had given Him before He was conceived.

22 And when the time of purification according to the Law of Moses was complete, His parents brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord

23 (as it is written in the Law of the Lord: “Every firstborn male shall be consecrated to the Lord” ^[a]),

24 and to offer the sacrifice specified in the Law of the Lord: “A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.” ^[b]
