At Jesus birth the angelic hosts proclaimed to the shepherds that a Savior had been born in Bethlehem (Lk 2: 11). When Jesus was circumcised at the temple on the eighth day, Simeon identified him as the Messiah who would bring salvation and revelation to both Jews and Gentiles (2: 30– 32). Anna the prophetess declared the redemption of Israel (2 :36– 38). Finally, Jesus at age 12 was already fully aware of his true identity and calling: he had to be in his Fathers house, the temple, and be about his Fathers business (2: 49).
