NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ²¹ After eight days the baby was circumcised. He was called by the name, Jesus. (Jesus: Jehovah is salvation) This was the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb. ²² Following the days of their purification according to the Law of Moses they brought him up to Jerusalem. There they would present him to God. ²³ It is written in God’s law that every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to God. (Exodus 13:1, 2) ²⁴ According to God’s Law they must offer a sacrifice of a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons. ²⁵ There was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout. He was waiting for God to save Israel. God’s Holy Spirit was working in him. ²⁶ Holy Spirit revealed to him that he would not die before he saw the Christ of God. ²⁷ Under the power of the spirit he came to the temple. The parents brought in the child Jesus, that they obey the custom of the law. ²⁸ He received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said: ²⁹ »Let your servant depart according to your word in peace. ³⁰ »My eyes have seen your salvation. ³¹ »That which you prepared before the peoples. ³² »It is a light of revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel.«
