Luke 2:35-37

Evangelical Heritage Version

³⁵ so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too.”

³⁶ Anna, a prophetess, was there. She was a daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old. She had lived with her husband for seven years after her marriage,^{[a] 37} and then she was a widow of eighty-four years. She did not leave the temple complex, since she was worshipping with fasting and prayers night and day.
