42:001:001 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,
42:001:002 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
42:001:003 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,
42:001:004 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.
42:001:005 THERE was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
42:001:006 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
42:001:007 And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.
42:001:008 And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course,
42:001:009 According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.
42:001:010 And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.
