This Sunday’s gospel: Luke 2:22-40 | Lukes narrative continues with stories that emphasize Jesus connection to Judaism. His family is devout in its observance of the law, and Jesus himself is recognized as one who will bring glory to Israel. ¶ World of the Bible note: Jewish women participate in ritual washings to return to normal life after encountering the holy mystery of childbirth (see Lev 12). First-born sons were to be dedicated to God (see Exod 2, 12). Luke is the only Gospel that includes these events, including the encounters with Simeon and Anna. (From “Lutheran Study Bible,” Augsburg Fortress, 2009.)
