Elizabeth was the wife of Zechariah, a priest, and the mother of John the Baptist.
The father of Elizabeth, wife of the priest Zechariah and mother of John the Baptist, is not named in the New Testament but is implied by Luke 1:5, which identifies Elizabeth as 'a descendant of Aaron.' As a member of the priestly lineage, Elizabeth's father would have been a priest of the Aaronite line. Luke 1:36 describes Elizabeth as a relative of Mary the mother of Jesus, connecting the priestly and Davidic family lines in the Lukan birth narrative.
