zacharia and elizibeth
His father was a priest named Zacharias, and his mother was a woman of Aaronic descent named Elizabeth. See Luke chapter one.
AnswerJohn the Baptist was the son of Elizabeth and Zacharias. They were both very old, and Elizabeth was barren. However Elizabeth became pregnant after a divine revelation to Zacharias. Zacharias was a priest at the temple and allowed the honor of burning the insence. It was then that God told him that his wife would give birth to a son. Zacharias did not believe that she would become pregnant and was not allowed to speak until the birth of John.
Zechariah, a priest of the course of Abia (Luke 1:5) was John the Baptist's father.
AnswerWe rely on Luke's gospel for information about the birth of John the Baptist, because none of the other gospel authors seems to have known this. Luke chapter 1 tells us that Zechariah was John the Baptist's father. However, Uta Ranke-Heinemann (Putting Away Childish Things) believes that the author of Lukecreated the story of John's birth.We can look at the evidence to see which of those views is most likely to be correct. Luke's Gospel is known as a 'synoptic' gospel because when laid alongside Mark's Gospel (and Matthew's) and read synoptically ('with the same eye') in the original Greek language, it can be established that Luke was based on Mark. The 'Missing Block' demonstrates that where Luke's source was incomplete, he was unable to fill the gap with information from any other source or inspiration. Other evidence shows that Lukewas written no earlier than the 90s of the first century.
What this means is that the author of Luke could not have known anything about the life of Jesus other than what he read in Mark, yet he reported private family events in considerable detail, although they would have occurred at least a hundred years before the time of writing. These events, had they occurred, would not have been recorded by anyone alive at the time of John's birth, so the author of Luke simply could not have known what he supposedly reported. Ranke-Heinemann would seem to have good grounds for assuming that Luke's story of the birth of John the Baptist was not really true, in which case we do not really know who his father really was.
Zacharias the priest.
Answer:According to Luke's Gospel, Zacarias was the father of John the Baptist, and his mother was Elizabeth, a cousin of Mary, mother of Jesus. On this account, John was a distant cousin to Jesus. On the other hand, Uta Ranke-Heinemann (Putting Away Childish Things) suggests that Zacarias and Elizabeth were not real people and that the author of Luke created the story of John's birth.We can look at the evidence to see which of those views is most likely to be correct. All four New Testament gospels were originally anonymous, so we do not really know who wrote Luke's Gospel. It is known as a 'synoptic' gospel because when laid alongside Mark's Gospel (and Matthew's) and read synoptically ('with the same eye') in the original Greek language, it can be established that Luke was based on Mark. The 'Missing Block' demonstrates that where Luke's source was incomplete, he was unable to fill the gap with information from any other source or inspiration. Other evidence shows that Luke was written no earlier than the 90s of the first century.
What this means is that the author of Luke could not have known anything about the life of Jesus other than what he read in Mark, yet he confidently reported private family events that occurred at least a hundred years before the time of writing, providing the only gospel account of the birth of John the Baptist. Ranke-Heinemann would seem to have good grounds for assuming that Luke's story of the birth of John the Baptist was not really true, in which case we know nothing about his family.
Zacharias and Elizabeth.
Luk 1:13 But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.
The gospel account is given in Luke 1:5: "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 Elizabeth."
This information appears only in Luke's Gospel, and Uta Ranke-Heinemann (Putting Away Childish Things) says that both Zacharias and Elizabeth were literary creations by the author of Luke's Gospel.
The Bible does not tell us the names of Elizabeth's parents, only that she was a cousin of Mary.
.
Elizabeth is mentioned only in Luke's Gospel and Uta Ranke-Heinemann (Putting Away Childish Things) believes that Elizabeth and Zechariah were literary creations by the gospel author. On this view, we can never know who Elizabeth's parents were.

However, Uta Ranke-Heinemann (Putting Away Childish Things) suggests that Zachariah and Elizabeth were not real people and that the author of Luke created the story of John's birth.

Both the parents of John the babtist were old , that is Zechariah , the father and Elizabeth his mother. And Zechariah doubted the words of the angel, so he became dum.
His mother was Elizabeth and his father was Zachariah.
It was the angel Gabriel who visted John's future father, Zachariah
Southern Baptists call "Our Father Prayer" "The Lord's Prayer." Southern Baptists will say it as a group recitation, but not in every service normally... although each church may vary.

Cindy McCain and John McCain now attend Southern Baptist Church....They are Baptists.
John the Baptist's parents, Zechariah and Elizabeth, were happy he was born because they had been childless for many years and viewed his birth as a miraculous blessing from God. They considered him a fulfillment of the angel's promise and a sign of God's favor.
