In the Gospel story, Elizabeth's recognition of Jesus as "Lord" before his birth is unusual because "Lord" was a Greek title for Jesus that emerged later in the early Christian Church, not a title used by people who knew him during his lifetime. This suggests the Gospels reflect the early Church's practices rather than direct, real-time accounts of Jesus' life.
