There was also a prophet named Anna.
She was the daughter of Penuel from the tribe of Asher. Anna was very old. After getting married, she lived with her husband seven years.
Then she was a widow until she was 84.
She never left the temple. She worshiped night and day, praying and going without eating.
Anna came up to Jesus’ family at that very moment. She gave thanks to God. And she spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the time when Jerusalem would be set free.
So Joseph and Mary did everything the Law of the Lord required.
