Lukas 1,7

Elisabeth
Parents and childrenGriefShame

5 I de dager da Herodes var konge i Judea, var det en prest ved navn Sakarja, av Abias skift; og han hadde en kone av Arons døtre, som het Elisabet.

6 De var begge rettferdige for Gud, og vandret ulastelig i alle Herrens bud og forskrifter.

Men de var barnløse, fordi Elisabet ikke kunne få barn, og de var begge langt oppe i årene.

8 Nå skjedde det mens han utførte sine prestetjenester for Gud i sitt skifts orden,

9 i samsvar med presteskapets skikk, ble han ved loddtrekning valgt til å gå inn i Herrens tempel og brenne røkelse.
