People's Commentary (NT)
Luke 1:5
There was in the days of Herod. For Herod, see PNT "Mt 2:1".
A certain priest. Not a chief priest, but one belonging to the
courses.
The course of Abia. All the priests were divided into twenty-four
courses, or classes. That of Abijah was the eighth course (1 Chronicles 24:10);
each course took charge of the temple worship in succession, for a week
at the time, beginning on a Sabbath. The heads of these twenty-four
courses are "the chief priests" so often spoken of in the New
Testament.
His wife [was] of the daughters of Aaron. Elizabeth also was of
priestly family.
