Dedication to Theophilus

[1] Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things that have been accomplished among us,… [4] that you may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught.

Birth of John the Baptist Foretold

[5] In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah, of the division of Abijah. And he had a wife from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. ...

[8] Now while he was serving as priest before God when his division was on duty, …

[18] And Zechariah said to the angel, “How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.” …


[24] After these days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and for five months she kept herself hidden, saying, [25] “Thus the Lord has done for me in the days when he looked on me, to take away my reproach among people.”
