Started off looking at how Luke 2:22 came to say "her purification" instead of "their purification," leading to a study of Beza and the Textus Receptus. This led us to Steven Anderson once again, who is in the news for being banned from half the planet lately (this time Ireland of all places). But this then led us to listen to more of Anderson's response to my book, wherein he echoes the very arguments being put forward by TR advocates today! A tangled web to be sure! So, lots for those interested in the history of the text and how it came to us.

“ Something to consider ” Luke 2:22
And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;
I believe Scripture shares for us the answer for this question of "her" or "their" in Luke 2:22.
Lev. 12:4
And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, ***until the days of her purifying be fulfilled***.
Seems like Luke 2:21 references Jesus. Luke 2:22 Mary and in Luke 2:23 the "they" would be Joseph and Mary.
