Luke 2:22
20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, which was just as the angel had told them.
21 When the eight days until His circumcision had passed, He was named Jesus, the name the angel had given Him before He had been conceived.
And when the time of purification according to the Law of Moses was complete, His parents brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord
23 (as it is written in the Law of the Lord: “Every firstborn male shall be consecrated to the Lord”),
24 and to offer the sacrifice specified in the Law of the Lord: “A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
