The first thing is you have the proclamations of two miraculous births of two extraordinary people. Now, obviously, Christ is the greater of those two for so many reasons. But as I pointed out in the beginning, and we'll see, I don't know if we'll actually see it in Luke. I didn't, I couldn't see that for certain. That John was no, he was no slouch in the eyes of God, in the eyes of Christ. You have these two men who have so much in common. They are, they share similar family lines, if you will. They're, I realize that's a little bit nuanced, but I think you get what I'm saying. They probably grew up together. I, I, I'm making an assumption here because, I mean, Mary did visit Elizabeth. Is it out of the question that they got together for birthdays and family celebrations? I would not think that that's completely un-possible. They both had their first proclaimed by Gabriel. Both of their conceptions were, in their own ways, miraculous.
