Luke 2:36-38

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³⁶ And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser; she was far advanced in years, and had lived with her husband seven years from her virginity.

³⁷ And she was a widow until fourscore and four years; who departed not from the temple, by fastings and prayers serving night and day.

³⁸ Now she, at the same hour, coming in, confessed to the Lord; and spoke of him to all that looked for the redemption of Israel.
