²² And ^(C)when the time came for their purification according to the Law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem ^(D)to present him to the Lord ²³ (as it is written in ^(E)the Law of the Lord, ^(F)“Every male who first opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”) ²⁴ and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in ^(G)the Law of the Lord, ^(H)“a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.” ²⁵ Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was ^(I)righteous and ^(J)devout, ^(K)waiting for ^(L)the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
