Luke 1:12

Luke 1:12

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.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Luke 1:11

Luke 1:13 >>

Zacharias was troubled - Although he was accustomed to converse with God, yet we see he was thrown into a great consternation, at the appearance of his angelical messenger, nature not being able to sustain the sight. Is it not then an instance of the goodness is well as of the wisdom of God, that the services, which these heavenly spirits render us, are generally invisible?
