Luke wrote: “In the 15th year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod was district ruler of Galilee, Philip his brother was district ruler of the country of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias was district ruler of Abilene, in the days of chief priest Annas and of Caiaphas, God’s declaration came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness. ”
Lūka rakstīja: ” Imperatora Tiberija piecpadsmitajā valdīšanas gadā, kad Poncijs Pilāts bija Jūdejas vietvaldis, Hērods — zemes valdnieks Galilejā, bet viņa brālis Filips — zemes valdnieks Iturejā un Trahonitīdā un kad Lizanijs bija zemes valdnieks Abilenē, augstā priestera Annas un Kajafas laikā, Jānim, Zaharjas dēlam, tuksnesī atskanēja Dieva vārds. ”
