Luke 2:35-37

International Standard Version

³⁵ Indeed, a sword will pierce your own soul, too, so that the inner thoughts of many people might be revealed.”

³⁶ Now Anna, a prophetess, was also there. She was a descendant of Phanuel from the tribe of Asher. She was very old, having lived with her husband for seven years after her marriage, ³⁷ and then as a widow for 84 years. She never left the Temple, but continued to worship there night and day with times of fasting and prayer.
