Luke 2:21-24

21Eight days later, when the baby was circumcised, he was named Jesus, the name given him by the angel even before he was conceived.

22Then it was time for their purification offering, as required by the law of Moses after the birth of a child; so his parents took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord.

23The law of the Lord says, “If a woman’s first child is a boy, he must be dedicated to the Lord.”

24So they offered the sacrifice required in the law of the Lord—“either a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”
