Luke 1:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 In [a]the [b]time of [c]Herod King of Judea, there was a certain Priest named Zacharias, of the (A)[d]course of Abijah: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
6 Both were [e]just before God, and [f]walked in all the [g]commandments and ordinances of the Lord, [h]without reproof.
7 And they had no child, because that Elizabeth was barren: and both were well stricken in age.
