Elizabeth

Elizabeth was a woman in the New Testament of the Bible, known as the mother of John the Baptist. She was a relative of Mary, the mother of Jesus, and both women were pregnant at the same time. Elizabeth was considered to be a righteous and devout woman and was blessed with a child in her old age. According to the account in the Gospel of Luke, Elizabeth was a descendant of Aaron, the first high priest of Israel, and was married to a man named Zacharias, who was a priest in the temple. When the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary to announce that she would give birth to Jesus, he also visited Zacharias to announce the birth of John the Baptist. After John was born, Elizabeth and Zacharias praised God for his arrival and Elizabeth's relative, Mary, visited her to help care for her and her baby. Elizabeth played a minor role in the birth narrative of Jesus, but her testimony of God's power and faithfulness to His promises was significant.

first mention in the bible is in the book of Exodus, chapter 6, verse 23.
