Commentary on Luke 1:5
Zechariah and Elisabeth are introduced as righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all commandments. The Greek 'dikaioi' (δίκαιοι, righteous) indicates their justified standing and moral uprightness. Their blamelessness in observing the law demonstrates that even perfect external obedience cannot guarantee answered prayer—Elisabeth remained barren despite their righteousness. This sets up the theme that God's timing and purposes transcend human merit, and His miraculous intervention comes by grace, not works.
