Luke 1:24

23 So it was, as soon as ^athe days of his service were completed, that he departed to his own house.

24 Now after those days his wife Elizabeth conceived; and she hid herself five months, saying,

25 “Thus the Lord has dealt with me, in the days when He looked on me, to ^atake away my reproach among people.”
