Luke:2:36-40
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And there was one Anna ,
a prophetess ,
the daughter of Phanuel ,
of the tribe of Aser :
she was of a great age ,
and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity ;
*
And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years ,
which departed not from the temple ,
but served God with fastings and prayers night and day .
*
And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord ,
and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem .
*
And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord ,
they returned into Galilee ,
to their own city Nazareth .
*
And the child grew ,
and waxed strong in spirit ,
filled with wisdom :
and the grace of God was upon him .
