Although The Bible does not address this question specifically, it is understood that Elizabeth was past the age of childbearing when she conceived John. His reason for being was to make the way ready for Jesus to follow, once that was done He was beheaded and went on to his heavenly reward.

When was Elizabeth the mother of John the Baptist born?

A:The story of the birth of John the Baptist to the elderly Zacharius and Elizabeth is found only in Luke's Gospel, which does not mention the birthplace of Elizabeth. The majority of New Testament scholars dismiss the story of the birth of John the Baptist as unhistorical, with Uta Ranke-Heinemann (Putting Away Childish Things) saying that both Zacharius and Elizabeth were literary creations by the author of Luke's Gospel. So, on the scholarly view, we can never say where Elizabeth was born.
