Verse 5 gives us a time frame, in the days of Herod the king of Judaea, which is consistent to the time of Christ. This verse also introduces us to some key people. Both Zacharias and his wife were in the blood line of Aaron. They would become the parents of John the Baptist who was to be the forerunner of Jesus Christ
