Luke 2:21-24 - The Circumcision And Presentation Of Jesus

21 After eight days had passed, the infant was circumcised and named Jesus, the name given him by the angel before he was conceived in the womb. 22 When the time came for their purification according to the Law of Moses, Joseph and Mary took Jesus up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord, 23 as it is written in the Law of the Lord, "Every firstborn son is to be designated as holy to the Lord." 24 They also offered a sacrifice according to what is specified in the Law of the Lord: "a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons."
