|Lucas 1:1| Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled 1 among us,
-
-
-
|Lucas 1:2| just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word.
-
-
-
|Lucas 1:3| With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,
-

-
|Lucas 1:4| so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.

|Lucas 1:5| In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah; his wife Elizabeth was also a descendant of Aaron.
-
-
-
|Lucas 1:6| Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, observing all the Lord’s commands and decrees blamelessly.
-
-
-
|Lucas 1:7| But they were childless because Elizabeth was not able to conceive, and they were both very old.
-
-
-
|Lucas 1:8| Once when Zechariah’s division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,
-
-
-
|Lucas 1:9| he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to go into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
-
-
-
|Lucas 1:10| And when the time for the burning of incense came, all the assembled worshipers were praying outside.
