Luke 2:36-38

36And there was a 1prophetess, 2Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of 3the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in 4years 5and had lived with her husband seven years after her 6marriage, 37and then as a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple, serving night and day with 7fastings and prayers. 38At that very 8moment she came up and began giving thanks to God, and continued to speak of Him to all those who were 9looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.
