Luke 2:22-24

J.B. Phillips New Testament

^22-23 When the “purification” time, stipulated by the Law of Moses, was completed, they brought Jesus to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord. This was to fulfil a requirement of the Law—‘Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord’.

²⁴ They also offered the sacrifice prescribed by the Law—‘A pair of turtle doves, or two young pigeons’.
