Luke 1:1-7 (American Standard Version)
View In My Bible
1
Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to draw up a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,
2
even as they delivered them unto us, who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word,
3
it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus;
4
that thou mightest know the certainty concerning the things wherein thou wast instructed.
5
There was in the days of Herod, king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abijah: and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
6
And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
7
And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were [now] well stricken in years.
