Scholars such as Uta Ranke-Heinemann (Putting Away Childish Things) believe that Elizabeth and Zechariah were literary creations by the gospel author, purely to create a close family relationship between Jesus and the popular Jewish preacher, John the Baptist. On this view, we do not know who John's parents were or how old he was.
