Joseph and Mary were Jews, and followed the customs of their nation. When Jesus was six weeks old, they brought Him to the Lord in the temple at Jerusalem. This was according to the law which God had given to Israel, and Jesus was to be obedient in all things. So God's own Son, the Prince of Heaven, by His example teaches that we should obey.

Josef og Maria var jøder, og de fulgte deres lands skikke. Da Jesus var seks uger gammel, bragte de ham op til Jerusalem for at fremstille ham for Herren i templet. Det var i overensstemmelse med den lov, Gud havde givet Israel, og Jesus skulle være lydig i alle ting. Guds egen Søn, Himmelens fyrste, lærer os ved sit eksempel, at vi bør vise lydighed.
