Presentation at the Temple
When Jesus was just a few weeks old, His parents brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him at the temple.
Simeon, a righteous man who lived in Jerusalem, was at the temple. The Holy Ghost told him he would see Christ before he died.
Simeon saw the baby Jesus at the temple. He held Him in his arms and praised God.
Simeon said that the child would bring salvation to all people. Joseph and Mary marvelled at what he said.
A widow named Anna also saw Jesus and knew who He was. She gave thanks and told many people about Him.
