又有女先知名叫亚拿,是亚设支派法内力的女儿,年纪已经老迈,从作童女出嫁的时候,同丈夫住了七年,就寡居了。
现在已经八十四岁,(或作就寡居了八十四年)并不离开圣殿,禁食祈求,昼夜事奉神。
正当那时,他进来称谢神,将孩子的事,对一切盼望耶路撒冷得救赎的人讲说。
约瑟和马利亚,照主的律法,办完了一切的事,就回加利利,到自己的城拿撒勒去了。
孩子渐渐长大,强健起来,充满智慧。又有神的恩在他身上。

There was also a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage,
and then was a widow until she was eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.
Coming up to them at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.
When Joseph and Mary had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth.
And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
