Named Jesus and presented to the Lord; Simeon and Anna
예수라 이름하고 주께 드림, 시므온과 안나
Luke 2:21–40: when eight days are fulfilled for the circumcision of the child, his name is called Jesus, which was given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb. When the days of their purification according to the law of Moses are fulfilled, they bring him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord, as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male who opens 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.” There is a man in Jerusalem whose name is Simeon, righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit is on him; it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. Simeon comes in the Spirit into the temple, and when the parents bring in the child, Jesus, that they might do concerning him according to the custom of the law, Simeon receives him into his arms, blesses God and says, “Now you are releasing your servant, Master, according to your word, in peace; for my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared before the face of all peoples; a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel.” Joseph and the child’s mother marvel at the things which were spoken concerning him. Simeon blesses them and says to Mary, the child’s mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against. Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” There is one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity and a widow for about eighty-four years, who does not depart from the temple, worshiping with fastings and petitions night and day. Coming up at that very hour, she gives thanks to the Lord and speaks of him (the Korean Revised Version says 이 아기, this child) to all those who are looking for redemption in Jerusalem. When the parents have accomplished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, they return into Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth. The child grows and becomes strong in spirit, filled with wisdom, and the grace of God is upon him.

21When eight days were fulfilled for the circumcision of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
22When the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord
23(as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”),
24and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, “A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.”
25Behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him.
26It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
27He came in the Spirit into the temple. When the parents brought in the child, Jesus, that they might do concerning him according to the custom of the law,
28then he received him into his arms and blessed God, and said,
29“Now you are releasing your servant, Master, according to your word, in peace;
30for my eyes have seen your salvation,
31which you have prepared before the face of all peoples;
32a light for revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel.”
33Joseph and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning him.
34Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary, his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which is spoken against.
35Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
36There was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,
37and she had been a widow for about eighty-four years), who didn’t depart from the temple, worshiping with fastings and petitions night and day.
