Luke 2:21-24

21And when 1eight days were completed 2so that it was time for His circumcision, 3He was also named Jesus, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.

224And when the days for 5their purification according to the Law of Moses were completed, they brought Him up to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord 23(as it is written in the Law of the Lord: “6Every firstborn male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”), 24and to offer a sacrifice according to what has been stated in the Law of the Lord: “7A pair of turtledoves or two young doves.”
