Presentation at the Temple

When Jesus was just a few weeks old, His parents brought Him to the temple in Jerusalem. Luke 2:21–22

Simeon was a righteous man who lived in Jerusalem. The Holy Ghost told him that before he died, he would see Christ. Luke 2:25–26

Simeon went to the temple. When he saw the child Jesus, he held Him in his arms and praised God. Luke 2:27–29

Simeon declared that the child would bring salvation to all people. Joseph and Mary marveled at what Simeon said. Luke 2:30–33

Also in the temple that day was the widow Anna. She saw Jesus, too, and knew who He was. She gave thanks for the Savior and told many people about Him. Luke 2:36–38
