The
Presentation
Luk 2:22
And when the days of
their purification
according to the law of
Moses were fulfilled,
they brought him up to
Jerusalem, to present
him to the Lord
Luk 2:23
(as it is written in the
law of the Lord, Every
male that openeth the
womb shall be called
holy to the Lord),
Luk 2:24
and to offer a sacrifice
according to that which
is said in the law of
the Lord, A pair of
turtledoves, or two
young pigeons.
Luk 2:25
And behold, 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.
Luk 2:26
And it had been revealed
unto him by the Holy
Spirit, that he should
not see death, before he
had seen the Lord's
Christ.
Luk 2:27
And he came in the
Spirit into the temple:
and when the parents
brought in the child
Jesus, that they might
do concerning him after
the custom of the law,
Luk 2:28
then he received him
into his arms, and
blessed God, and said,
Luk 2:29
Now lettest thou thy
servant depart, Lord,
According to thy word,
in peace;
Luk 2:30
For mine eyes have seen
thy salvation,
Luk 2:31
Which thou hast prepared
before the face of all
peoples;
Luk 2:32
A light for revelation
to the Gentiles, And the
glory of thy people
Israel.
