(N T Wright points out that Luke is following the structure of 1 Samuel, beginning with a temple scene that leads to the providential birth of the prophet who points out the coming king.)

Very interesting-- do you have a reference for this, I would like to read more.

Thanks

The New Testament and the People of God (SPCK, 1992), page 379ff, starting with this paragraph:

The story of Elizabeth and Zechariah in Luke 1:5–25, 39–45, 57–80 is without a doubt intended to take the reader’s mind back to the story of Hannah and Elkanah in 1 Samuel 1:1–2:11. This time it is the father (Zechariah). not the mother (Hannah), who is in the Temple, and he is himself a priest, not merely appearing before one as Hannah does before Eli. But the story has not only the same shape (the couple whose longing for a child is taken up within the divine purpose) but also the same triumphant conclusion (Hannah’s song is picked up by both Mary’s and Zechariah’s). And in both there is a longer purpose waiting to be uncovered, a purpose which encompasses the message of judgment and salvation for Israel.
