Notice the details Luke provided in these words: “In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was district ruler of Galilee, but 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. ”
Pane tähele üksikasju, mida Luuka järgnevate sõnadega ära toob: „Keiser Tibeeriuse valitsuse viieteistkümnendal aastal, kui Pontius Pilaatus oli Judea maavalitseja ja Heroodes Galilea nelivürst ja Filippus, tema vend, Iturea ja Trahhoniitisemaa nelivürst ja Lüsaanias Abileene nelivürst, kui ülempreestreiks olid Annas ja Kaifas, sai Jumala sõna Sakariase poja Johannese kätte kõrbes. ”
