The Bible says there were four people counting Mary and Joseph, the other two were Simeon and Anna.
But we have to remember that the account of Jesus being at the temple only mentions Mary, Joseph, Simeon and Anna because they form part of the story. The Temple at Jerusalem was a vast building including extensive courtyards and outdoor areas, and was regarded as THE meeting place for all Jews - a sort of vast community centre - as well as a place of worship. Therefore, the whole Temple would have had hundreds of priests, scribes, Pharisees, Sadducees, and ordinary people milling about all over as well as our cameo group that were the subject of the account we read about in the Bible.
