Bible Question (short): Mary pregnant at Elizabeth visit? |
Question (full): Let me just say that if my questions seem trivial, they probably are; but every detail in the Bible fascinates me and I want to know more. Question: Is is known how much time separated the birth of John the Baptist and Jesus? I'm curious because in Luke 1:26-38 it talks about Mary being told that she will be the mother of Jesus. Then in vs 39 it says at that time she went to visit Elizabeth who was six months pregnant; vs 56 says she stayed with Elizabeth 3 months (probably until John was born). I wonder if during these three months she became pregnant while Joseph was back in Nazareth. I also wonder if the distance from Nazareth to the hill country of Judea (probably a three day to one week long trip) was far enough apart that Joseph did not visit her during that time. And finally in Matthew 1:18-24 it relates how Mary was found to be with child and Joseph was planning to divorce her quietly. Is it possible that when she came back from the hill country of Judea, she was pregnant and this is the moment (related in Matthew) when Joseph realizes (or she tells him) that she is pregnant? |
