Luke 2:23 in Context — Luke 2
21 Le huitième jour, auquel l’enfant devait être circoncis, étant arrivé, on lui donna le nom de Jésus, nom qu’avait indiqué l’ange avant qu’il fût conçu dans le sein de sa mère.
22 Et, quand les jours de leur purification furent accomplis, selon la loi de Moïse, Joseph et Marie le portèrent à Jérusalem, pour le présenter au Seigneur,
23 suivant ce qui est écrit dans la loi du Seigneur: Tout mâle premier-né sera consacré au Seigneur,
24 et pour offrir en sacrifice deux tourterelles ou deux jeunes pigeons, comme cela est prescrit dans la loi du Seigneur.
25 Et voici, il y avait à Jérusalem un homme appelé Siméon. Cet homme était juste et pieux, il attendait la consolation d’Israël, et l’Esprit-Saint était sur lui.
