36 Now Anna, a daughter of Phanuel of the tribe of Asher, was a prophetess. She was well advanced in age, having lived with a husband only seven years
37 and then as a widow until age eighty-four. She never left the Temple, serving night and day with fasting and prayers.
38 And coming up at that very instant, she began praising God and speaking about the Child to all those waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.
39 When Joseph and Miriam had completed everything according to the Torah of Adonai, they returned to the Galilee, to their own city of Natzeret.
40 The Child kept growing and became strong, filled with wisdom; and the favor of God was upon Him.
41 Now His parents were going every year to Jerusalem for the Passover feast.
42 When He became twelve years old, they were going up according to festival custom.
