*
There was 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 both righteous before God ,
walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless .
*
And they had no child ,
because that Elisabeth was barren ,
and they both were now well stricken in years .
*
And it came to pass ,
that while he executed the priest '
s office before God in the order of his course ,
*
According to the custom of the priest '
s office ,
his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord .
*
And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense .
*
And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense .
*
And when Zacharias saw him ,
he was troubled ,
and fear fell upon him .
*
But the angel said unto him ,
Fear not ,
Zacharias :
for thy prayer is heard ;
and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son ,
and thou shalt call his name John .
*
And thou shalt have joy and gladness ;
and many shall rejoice at his birth .
*
For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord ,
and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink ;
and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost ,
even from his mother '
s womb .
