Luqas (Luke) 2:21-35

Luqas (Luke) 2:21-35 TS2009

And when eight days were completed for Him to be circumcised, His Name was called יהושע, the Name given by the messenger before He was conceived in the womb. And when the days of her cleansing according to the Torah of Mosheh were completed, they brought Him to Yerushalayim to present Him to יהוה – as it has been written in the Torah of יהוה, “Every male who opens the womb shall be called set-apart to יהוה” and to give an offering according to what is said in the Torah of יהוה, “A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.” And see, there was a man in Yerushalayim whose name was Shim‛on, and this man was righteous and dedicated, looking for the comforting of Yisra’ĕl. And the Set-apart Spirit was upon him. And it had been revealed to him by the Set-apart Spirit that he would not see death before he sees the Messiah of יהוה. And he came in the Spirit into the Set-apart Place. And as the parents brought in the Child יהושע, to do for Him according to the usual practice of the Torah, then he took Him up in his arms and blessed Elohim and said, “Now let Your servant go in peace, O Master, according to Your word, for my eyes have seen Your deliverance, which You have prepared before the face of all the peoples, a light for the unveiling of the nations, and the esteem of Your people Yisra’ĕl.” And Yosĕph and His mother were marvelling at what was said about Him. And Shim‛on blessed them, and said to Miryam His mother, “See, this One is set for a fall and rising of many in Yisra’ĕl, and for a sign spoken against – and a sword shall pierce through your own being also – so as to reveal the thoughts of many hearts.”
