Luke 1:5-7

New Century Version

Zechariah and Elizabeth

⁵ During the time Herod ruled Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah who belonged to Abijah’s group.^[a] Zechariah’s wife, Elizabeth, came from the family of Aaron. ⁶ Zechariah and Elizabeth truly did what God said was good. They did everything the Lord commanded and were without fault in keeping his law. ⁷ But they had no children, because Elizabeth could not have a baby, and both of them were very old.
