New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Luke 2
¹⁶ So they came in a hurry and found their way to Mary and Joseph, and the baby as He lay in the manger.
¹⁷ When they had seen this, they made known the statement which had been told them about this Child.
¹⁸ And all who heard it wondered at the things which were told them by the shepherds.
¹⁹ But Mary treasured all these things, pondering them in her heart.
²⁰ The shepherds went back, glorifying and praising God for all that they had heard and seen, just as had been told them.
²¹ And when eight days had passed, before His circumcision, His name was then called Jesus, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.
²² And when the days for their purification according to the law of Moses were completed, they brought Him up to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord
²³ (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, "Every firstborn male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord"),
²⁴ and to offer a sacrifice according to what was said in the Law of the Lord, "A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons."
²⁵ And 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 would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
