Luke 2:21-23

New Life Version

Jesus Taken to the House of God

²¹ When eight days were over, they did the religious act of becoming a Jew on the Child. He was named Jesus. This name was given to Him by the angel when Mary was told He was to be born. ²² When the days were over for her to be made pure as it was written in the Law of Moses, they took Jesus to Jerusalem to give Him to the Lord. ²³ It is written in the Law of the Lord, “The first-born male born of a woman will be called holy to the Lord.”
