Lukas 2:36

The Testimony of Anna

2:36 There was also a prophetess, Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old, ¹  having been married to her husband for seven years until his death.

Lukas 15:13

15:13 After ²  a few days, ³  the younger son gathered together all he had and left on a journey to a distant country, and there he squandered ⁴  his wealth ⁵  with a wild lifestyle.

[2:36]  ¹ tn Her age is emphasized by the Greek phrase here, “she was very old in her many days.”

[15:13]  ² tn Grk “And after.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[15:13]  ³ tn Grk “after not many days.”

[15:13]  ⁴ tn Or “wasted.” This verb is graphic; it means to scatter (L&N 57.151).

[15:13]  ⁵ tn Or “estate” (the same word has been translated “estate” in v. 12).
