Luke 1:1-9

Luke 1:1-9 CSB

Many have undertaken to compile a narrative about the events that have been fulfilled  among us,  just as the original eyewitnesses  and servants of the word  handed them down to us. So it also seemed good to me, since I have carefully investigated everything from the very first, to write to you in an orderly sequence, most honorable  Theophilus,  so that you may know the certainty of the things about which you have been instructed.  , In the days of King Herod  of Judea, there was a priest of Abijah’s division  named Zechariah. His wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. Both were righteous in God’s sight,  living without blame  according to all the commands and requirements of the Lord. But they had no children because Elizabeth could not conceive, and both of them were well along in years.  When his division was on duty  and he was serving as priest before God, it happened that he was chosen by lot,  according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter the sanctuary of the Lord and burn incense.
