Luke 1
1 Since many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,

5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zechariah, of the priestly division of Abijah. He had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisheva.

6 They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.

7 But they had no child, because Elisheva was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.

9 according to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
