Luke 2:36

The Prophecy of Anna

35so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed— and a sword will pierce your soul as well.”36There was also a prophetess named Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, who was well along in years. She had been married for seven years, 37and then was a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple, but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.
