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.  
10 aAnd the whole multitude of the people was praying outside at the hour of incense.  
11 Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of athe altar of incense.  
12 And when Zacharias saw him, ahe was troubled, and fear fell upon him.  
13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and ayou shall call his name John.  
14 And you will have joy and gladness, and amany will rejoice at his birth.  
15 For he will be agreat in the sight of the Lord, and bshall drink neither wine nor strong drink. He will also be filled with the Holy Spirit, ceven from his mother’s womb.  
16 And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.
17 aHe will also go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’ and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”
