There was likewise one Anna a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser; she was of a great age, and had liv'd in a married state but seven years ever since she was a virgin:

and several women, who had been delivered from evil spirits and cured of their diseases: particularly Mary Magdalene, who had been dispossess'd of seven demons:

then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself: they all enter in and dwell there, and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first.

tho' he should offend you seven times in a day, and seven times in the day return to you, saying, I repent, you must forgive him.

now there were seven brothers, the first of which marry'd, and died without children.

then the third took her, and so she was married to all seven, who all died without leaving any children.

at the resurrection therefore, to which of them will she be wife? for she had been married to all the seven.
