Luke 2:36-40
Chapter 2
36
There was also a prophetess named Anna, daughter of Phanuel, from the tribe of Asher. After leaving her father’s house, she had been married for seven years; since then, she had been continually at the temple, serving God as a widow—night and day—in fasting and prayer.
37
She was now eighty-four.
38
When that time came, she gave praise to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the deliverance of Jerusalem.
39
When the parents had fulfilled all that was required by the law of the Lord, they returned to their town, Nazareth in Galilee.
40
There, the child grew in stature and strength and was filled with wisdom: the grace of God was upon him.
