The Bible does not explicitly say how old Jesus was at the time, but Luke 2:22 locates this event as happening "when the time came for their purification according to the Law of Moses." A woman was ritually impure for 40 days after the birth of a son. Leviticus 12:2-4 says: "Say to the Israelites: 'A woman who becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son will be ceremonially unclean for seven days, just as she is unclean during her monthly period. On the eighth day the boy is to be circumcised. Then the woman must wait thirty-three days to be purified from her bleeding. She must not touch anything sacred or go to the sanctuary until the days of her purification are over." Jesus was born in Bethlehem, just 6 miles from Jerusalem, so it was an easy day's walk to get to the Temple. So in all likelihood, Jesus wasn't much more than 40 days old when Simeon saw him in the Temple.

The passage in which Simeon blessed the baby Jesus and prophesied great things was an opportunity to prove to the readers of Luke's Gospel that Jesus was indeed the son of God.

Simeon recognised Jesus as the Christ as soon as he saw him, and blessed the young family. The author of Luke often used repetition to ensure certainty among his readers, so the story of Simeon was immediately followed by the story of Anna the prophetess.
