The Testimony of Anna

The Testimony of Anna

36And there was a prophetess, Anna the daughter of Phanuel of the tribe of Asher (she was advanced in years,[fn] having lived with her husband seven years after her marriage,[fn] 37and herself as a widow up to eighty-four years)[fn] who did not depart from the temple with fastings and prayers, serving night and day. 38And at that same hour she approached and[fn] began to give thanks[fn] to God, and to speak about him to all those who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.

39And when they had completed everything according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth. 40And the child was growing and becoming strong, filled with wisdom, and the favor of God was upon him.


2:36 Literally “with many days”

2:36 Literally “from her virginity”

2:37 Or “eighty-four years as a widow”

2:38 *Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“approached”) has been translated as a finite verb

2:38 The imperfect tense has been translated as ingressive here (“began to give thanks”)
