Biblical Women of God - Presentation (13-S)
Elisabeth
Mother of John the baptist, her pregnancy was considered a miracle as well because of her advanced age.
Luke 1: 5 - 7 & 13 - 17
5: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.
6:And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
7:And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.
13:But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
14:And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
15:For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.
16:And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
17:And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
