Luke 2:36-38

Anna’s response to Jesus

36 There was also a prophet, Anna the daughter of Phanuel, who belonged to the tribe of Asher. She was very old. After she married, she lived with her husband for seven years.

37 She was now an 84-year-old widow. She never left the temple area but worshipped God with fasting and prayer night and day.

38 She approached at that very moment and began to praise God and to speak about Jesus to everyone who was looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.
