*
And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child ,
his name was called JESUS ,
which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb .
*
And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished ,
they brought him to Jerusalem ,
to present him to the Lord ;
* (
As it is written in the law of the Lord ,
Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord ;)
*
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 .
*
And ,
behold ,
there was a man in Jerusalem ,
whose name was Simeon ;
and the same man was just and devout ,
waiting for the consolation of Israel :
and the Holy Ghost was upon him .
*
And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost ,
that he should not see death ,
before he had seen the Lord '
s Christ .
*
And he came by the Spirit into the temple :
and when the parents brought in the child Jesus ,
to do for him after the custom of the law ,
