John’s Birth Announced to Zacharias

5 There was ^ain the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, ^bof the division of ^cAbijah. His ^dwife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well advanced in years.

8 So it was, that while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his division,

9 according to the custom of the priesthood,¹ his lot fell ^ato burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.
