Luke   2: 36-40

2:36 And there was a prophetess, Anna, a daughter of Phanuel, from the tribe of Asher. She was very advanced in years, and she had lived with her husband for seven years from her virginity.

2:37 And then she was a widow, even to her eighty-fourth year. And without departing from the temple, she was a servant to fasting and prayer, night and day.

2:38 And entering at the same hour, she confessed to the Lord. And she spoke about him to all who were awaiting the redemption of Israel.

2:39 And after they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their city, Nazareth. 2:40 Now the child grew, and he was strengthened with the fullness of wisdom. And the grace of God was in him.
