1 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile an account of the things a1accomplished among us, 2 just as they were handed down to us by those who 2from the beginning bwere 3eyewitnesses and c4servants of 5the dword, 3 it seemed fitting for me as well, 6having einvestigated everything carefully from the beginning, to write it out for you 7in consecutive order, 8most excellent 9Theophilus ; 4 so that you may know the exact truth about the things you have been f10taught.Birth of John the Baptist Foretold
5 11In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named gZacharias, of the 12division of hAbijah ; and he had a wife ifrom the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6 They were both 13righteous in the sight of God, walking 14blamelessly in all the commandments and requirements of the Lord. 7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in jyears. 8 Now it happened that while 15he was performing his priestly service before God in the appointed order of his division, 9 according to the custom of the priestly office, he was chosen by lot 16to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense.New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, California.
