All<n id="1" /> their neighbors were filled with fear, and throughout the entire hill country of Judea all these things were talked about.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now<n id="1" /> there were shepherds<n id="2" /> nearby<n id="3" /> living out in the field, keeping guard<n id="4" /> over their flock at night.

<t /><p class="bodytext">There was also a prophetess, Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old,<n id="1" /> having been married to her husband for seven years until his death.
