* It seemed (5656 ) good to me also , having had perfect understanding (5761 ) of all things from the very first , to write (5658 ) unto thee in order , most excellent Theophilus , * That thou mightest know (5632 ) the certainty of those things , wherein thou hast been instructed (5681 ). * There was (5633 ) in the days of Herod , the king of Judaea , a certain priest named Zacharias , of the course of Abia : and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron , and her name was Elisabeth . * And they were (5713 ) both righteous before God , walking (5740 ) in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless . * And they had (5713 ) no child , because that Elisabeth was (5713 ) barren , and they both were (5713 ) now well stricken (5761 ) in years . * And it came to pass (5633 ), that while he executed the priests office (5721 ) before God in the order of his course , * According to the custom of the priests office , his lot (5627 ) was to burn incense (5658 ) when he went (5631 ) into the temple of the Lord . * And the whole multitude of the people were (5713 ) praying (5740 ) without at the time of incense . * And there appeared (5681 ) unto him an angel of the Lord standing (5761 ) on the right side of the altar of incense . * And when Zacharias saw (5631 ) him , he was troubled (5681 ), and fear fell (5627 ) upon him . * But the angel said (5627 ) unto him , Fear (5737 ) not , Zacharias : for thy prayer is heard (5681 ); and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear (5692 ) thee a son , and thou shalt call (5692 ) his name John . * And thou shalt have (5704 ) joy and gladness ; and many shall rejoice (5690 ) at his birth . * For he shall be (5704 ) great in the sight of the Lord , and shall drink (5632 ) neither wine nor strong drink ; and he shall be filled (5701 ) with the Holy Ghost , even from his mothers womb . * And many of the children of Israel shall he turn (5692 ) to the Lord their God . * And he shall go (5695 ) before him in the spirit and power of Elias , to turn (5658 ) the hearts of the fathers to the children , and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just ; to make ready (5658 ) a people prepared (5772 ) for the Lord .
