HE WAS CALLED JESUS

LUKE  [21] And at the end of eight days, when he was circumcised, HE WAS CALLED JESUS, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.  [22]  And when the time came for their purification according to the law of Moses, 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 that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord")  [24] and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of the Lord, "a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons."  [25] Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.  [26] And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ.  [27] And inspired by the Spirit he came into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,  [28] he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said,  [29] "Lord, now allow your servant depart to in peace, according to your word; [30] for my eyes have seen your salvation [31] which you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, [32] a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel." [33]  And his father and his mother marveled at what was said about him;  [34] and Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, "Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is spoken against [35] (and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed."
