In Luke's Gospel, Zacharius was the father of John the Baptist and Elizabeth was his mother. However, the majority of New Testament scholars dismiss the story of the birth of John the Baptist as unhistorical. Uta Ranke-Heinemann (Putting Away Childish Things) says that both Zacharius and Elizabeth were literary creations by the author of Luke's Gospel.
