Luke 2:21-24

Jesus’ circumcision, naming, and temple presentation

21 When eight days had passed, Jesus' parents circumcised him and gave him the name Jesus. This was the name given to him by the angel before he was conceived.
22 When the time came for their ritual cleansing, in accordance with the Law from Moses, they brought Jesus up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord. (
23 It's written in the Law of the Lord, "Every firstborn male will be dedicated to the Lord.")
24 They offered a sacrifice in keeping with what's stated in the Law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.
