The verses around it, from Luke 1.
1 Many have undertaken to compose an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us,
2 just as they were handed down to us by the initial eyewitnesses and servants of the word.
3 Therefore, having carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,
4 so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.
5 In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah, and whose wife Elizabeth was a daughter of Aaron.
6 Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and decrees of the Lord.
7 But they had no children, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well along in years.
8 One day while Zechariah’s division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,
9 he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
