Luke 2:34-37 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

34. And Simeon offered a bracha over them and said to Miriam His mother, “Behold, this One is destined to cause the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign that is opposed,

35. so the thoughts of many hearts may be uncovered. (And even for you, a sword will pierce through your soul.)”

36. Now Anna, a daughter of Phanuel of the tribe of Asher, was a prophetess. She was well advanced in age, having lived with a husband only seven years

37. and then as a widow until age eighty-four. She never left the Temple, serving night and day with fasting and prayers.
