- 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,

- 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.

- After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
- Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers.
- When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you."
- "Why were you searching for me?" he asked. "Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house?"
- But they did not understand what he was saying to them.
