Luke 2:21

At ¹  the end of eight days, when he was circumcised, he was named Jesus, the name given by the angel ²  before he was conceived in the womb.

Ge 17:12; Le 12:3; Mt 1:21,25; Mt 3:15; Lu 1:31; Lu 1:59; Ga 4:4,5; Php 2:8

¹ tn Grk “And when eight days were completed.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

² sn Jesus’ parents obeyed the angel as Zechariah and Elizabeth had (1:57-66). These events are taking place very much under God’s direction.
