Jesus was eight days old when Anna saw Him in the Temple.
Luke 2:36-38 tells us that Anna, a prophetess, from the tribe of Asher, was an 84 year old widow, when she saw Jesus at the temple.
Anna was a prophetess and Simeon was a prophet.
ANNA. Anna was the prophetess who saw Jesus when he was presented in the temple by his parents. Anna belonged to the tribe of Asher. She became a widow after seven years of marriage to her husband. She was very old, around 84 years old when she saw Jesus in the temple.Refer also to Luke 2:36-38.
The old man Simeon and Anna were there.
No. Anna was 84 years old when she saw the baby Jesus. Luke 2:37 refers to her total age not her years of widowhood.
Luke 2:21-38"...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, and then was a widow until she was eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.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...."
Simeon was a righteous and devout man who lived in Jerusalem. The Holy Spirit revealed to him that he would die before he saw the Messiah. Simeon went to the temple and held the Christ Child, and blessed the family. The prophet Anna was a widow who never left the temple after her husband passed away seven years after her wedding. She spread the news about the Christ Child to everyone in Jerusalem looking for redemption.
In Luke 2:22 Mary and Joseph take Jesus to the temple to present Him to the Lord.There was a man in the temple by the name of Simeon. The Holy Spirit had revealed to him that he would see the Lord's Christ before he died. He recognized Jesus as that Messiah.Then in verse 36 we are introduced to Anna, a prophetess who lived in the temple night and day praying. She also saw Jesus and spoke to the Lord and gave Him thanks for the Messiah Jesus.
When Jesus went into Jerusalem to the Temple he saw all the sinful trading and money changing going on he turned over the tables and as God he said you are defiling my temple. He turned the place upside down when he chewed out their ears. They knew they were sinning and not doing according to the holy scriptures. It is possible they cleaned up their act after that raging action of righteousness and holiness against all that sin.
The passage in which Simeon blessed the baby Jesus and prophesied great things was an opportunity to prove to the readers of Luke's Gospel that Jesus was indeed the son of God. For some reason, Simeon, alone of all people, had been promised that he would not die before he saw the Lord's Anointed (Christ). Simeon recognised Jesus as the Christ as soon as he saw him, and blessed the young family. The author of Luke often used repetition to ensure certainty among his readers, so the story of Simeon was immediately followed by the story of Anna the prophetess.

Jesus was actually two years old when the magi visited him. This is contrary to what a lot of Nativity scenes show today, which is that Jesus was a newborn. If you do not believe me, then look it up for yourself on biblegateway.com. Search for Matthew 2
