5 It came to pass, in the days of Herod, king of Judaea, that there was a certain priest, by name Zachariah, of the daily course of Abia; and that he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and, her name, was Elizabeth.

6 Now they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and righteous appointments of the Lord, blameless;

7 and they had no child, inasmuch as Elizabeth was barren, and, both, had become, advanced in their days.
