Read in context

Luke 2:33–37 · Berean Standard Bible

33 The Child’s father and mother were amazed at what was spoken about Him.

34 Then Simeon blessed them and said to His mother Mary: “Behold, this Child is appointed to cause the rise and fall of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against,

35 so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed— and a sword will pierce your soul as well.”

36 There 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,

37 and then was a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple, but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.
