New Testament
Phanuel
The father of Anna the prophetess, mentioned in the Gospel of Luke.
Phanuel is identified in Luke 2:36 solely as the father of Anna, the prophetess who recognized the infant Jesus at the temple. His name, likely derived from the Hebrew for 'face of God,' is the only information provided about him in the biblical record. He serves as a genealogical marker for Anna, situating her within the tribe of Asher.
