Step 1
I'm assuming you're referring to events in the Bible, where Elizabeth, the wife of Zechariah, gave birth to John the Baptist.

There is no specific age given for Elizabeth in the biblical accounts. The relevant information is as follows:

Step 2

Elizabeth and Zechariah were "both righteous in the sight of God, observing all the Lord’s commands and decrees blamelessly" (Luke 1:6).

Final Answer

After the angel's announcement, Elizabeth conceived (Luke 1:24). Given the information, it is not possible to provide a specific age for Elizabeth when she had John the Baptist. The text only mentions that she was "old and well along in years" when she conceived.
