And when eight days were fulfilled for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, having been so called by the angel before He was conceived in the womb. And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him before the Lord: (as it is written in the law of the Lord, That every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord:) and to offer a sacrifice, read more.
according to what is required in the law of the Lord, a pair of turtle-doves or two young pigeons. And there was a man at Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and he was a just and a religious man, who expected the consolation of Israel; and the holy Spirit was upon him. And it was revealed to him by the holy Spirit, that he should not die before he had seen the Anointed of the Lord. And he came by the influence of the Spirit into the temple, as his parents brought in the child Jesus to do concerning Him according to the custom of the law: and he took Him into his arms, and blessed God, and said, "Now, Lord, thou dismissest thy servant in peace, according to thy word; for mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast provided in the sight of all people, a light for the enlightening of the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel." And Joseph and his mother were amazed at the things that were spoken concerning Him. And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising again of many in Israel, and for a sign which shall be spoken against, (and a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also) that the thoughts of many hearts may be discovered. And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser; who was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her first marrying, and had been a widow about eighty four years; who departed not from the temple; serving God with fastings and prayers night and day. And coming in at the very same time, gave thanks unto the Lord, and spake of Him to all that were looking for redemption in Jerusalem. And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
