Luke 2:37-39
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
37 And as a widow even for eighty-four years. She did not go out from the temple [a]enclosure, but was worshiping night and day with fasting and prayer.
38 And she too came up at that same hour, and she returned thanks to God and talked of [Jesus] to all who were looking for the redemption (deliverance) of Jerusalem.
39 And when they had done everything according to the Law of the Lord, they went back into Galilee to their own town, Nazareth.
