LUKE 1

An angel told Zechariah that his wife Elizabeth would bear a son, John.

5 When King Herod the Great ruled Judea district, there was a Jewish priest named Zechariah. He belonged to the group of priests called the Abijah group. He and his wife Elizabeth were both descended from the first priest of Israel, Aaron. 6 God considered that both of them were righteous, because they constantly completely obeyed everything that God had commanded.
