8 | JESUS is CIRCUMCISED | |||
Matt | Mark | Luke 2 | ||
21 | And at the end of eight days, | |||
when he was circumcised, | ||||
he was called Jesus, | ||||
the name given by the angel | ||||
before he was conceived in the womb. | ||||
22 | And when the time came for their purification | |||
according to the law of Moses, | ||||
they brought him up to Jerusalem | ||||
to present him to the Lord. | ||||
23 | (as it is written in the law of the Lord, | |||
"Every male that opens the womb | ||||
shall be called holy to the Lord") | ||||
24 | and to offer a sacrifice | |||
according to what is said in the law of the Lord, | ||||
"a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons." | ||||
25 | Now there was a man in Jerusalem, | |||
whose name was Simeon, | ||||
and this man was righteous and devout, | ||||
looking for the consolation of Israel, | ||||
and the Holy Spirit was upon him. | ||||
26 | And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit | |||
that he should not see death | ||||
before he had seen the Lord's Christ. | ||||
27 | And inspired by the Spirit he came into the temple; | |||
and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, | ||||
to do for him according to the custom of the law, | ||||
28 | he took him up in his arms | |||
and blessed God and said, | ||||
29 | "Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, | |||
according to thy word; | ||||
30 | for mine eyes have seen thy salvation | |||
31 | which thou hast prepared | |||
in the presence of all peoples, | ||||
32 | a light for revelation to the Gentiles, | |||
and for glory to thy people Israel." | ||||
33 | And his father and his mother marveled | |||
at what was said about him; | ||||
34 | and Simeon blessed them | |||
and said to Mary his mother, | ||||
"Behold, this child is set | ||||
for the fall and rising of many in Israel, | ||||
and for a sign that is spoken against | ||||
35 | (and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), | |||
that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed." | ||||
36 | And there was a prophetess, Anna, | |||
the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher; | ||||
she was of a great age, | ||||
having lived with her husband seven years | ||||
from her virginity, | ||||
37 | and as a widow till she was eighty-four. | |||
She did not depart from the temple, | ||||
worshiping with fasting and prayer night and day. | ||||
38 | And coming up at that very hour | |||
she gave thanks to God, | ||||
and spoke of him to all | ||||
who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem. |
