33. And his father and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning him;

34. and Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the falling and rising up of many in Israel; and for a sign which is spoken against;

35. yea and a sword shall pierce through thine own soul; that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed.

36. And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,

37. and she had been a widow even for fourscore and four years), which departed not from the temple, worshipping with fastings and supplications night and day.
