Luke 2:21-29

²¹When it was the end of the eighth day, when he was circumcised, he was named Jesus, the name he had been given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

²²When the required number of days for their purification had passed, according to the law of Moses, Joseph and Mary brought him up to the temple in Jerusalem to present him to the Lord.

²³As it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male who opens the womb will be set apart to the Lord.”

²⁴So they offered a sacrifice according to what was said in the law of the Lord, “a pair of doves or two young pigeons.”

²⁵Behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout. He was looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

²⁶It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ.

²⁷Led by the Spirit, Simeon came into the temple. When the parents brought in the infant Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,

²⁸he took him into his arms and praised God and he said,

²⁹“Now let your servant depart in peace, Lord, according to your word.
