Luke 1:5-9

During the time when Herod was king of Judea, there was a priest called Zechariah, who came from the Abijah priestly division. He was married to Elizabeth, who was also descended from Aaron the priest.

They both did what was right before God, being careful to follow all the Lord's commandments and regulations.

They had no children because Elizabeth wasn't able to have any, and they were both growing old.

While Zechariah was serving as a priest before God, on behalf of his priestly division,

he was chosen by lot according to priestly custom to enter the Temple of the Lord and burn incense.
