Why Was Jesus Presented at the Temple? The Hebrew Background of Luke 2
Why was Mary ritually unclean for 40 days after the birth of Jesus? Who is meant when Luke says “their” purification? Mary and Jesus? Mary and Joseph? Luke says he is quoting Scripture but adds words not found in Scripture—why? How do the young lives of Samuel and Jesus parallel each other? How is Simeon the personification of aged Israel and what parts of Isaiah does he draw from in his song? Those are some of the questions that @chadbird1517 addresses in this week’s Reading the Gospels through Hebrew Eyes on Luke 2:22ff.
