Luke 1:5-12

5There was in the daysG2250 of HerodG2264, kingG935 of Judæa, a certainG5100 priestG2409 namedG3686 Zacharias, of the course of AbijahG7: and he had a wifeG1135 of the daughtersG2364 of AaronG2, and her nameG3686 was Elisabeth. 6And they wereG1510 both righteousG1342 before GodG2316, walkingG4198 in all the commandmentsG1785 and ordinances of the LordG2962 blamelessG273. 7And they had no childG5043, because that Elisabeth wasG1510 barrenG4723, and they both wereG1510 now well stricken in years.

8NowG1161 it cameG1096 to passG1096, while he executed the priest’s office before GodG2316 in the orderG5010 of his course, 9accordingG2596 to the customG1485 of the priest’s office, his lot was to enterG1525 into the templeG3485 of the LordG2962 and burn incense. 10And the whole multitudeG4128 of the peopleG2992 wereG1510 prayingG4336 without at the hourG5610 of incenseG2368. 11And there appeared unto him an angelG32 of the LordG2962 standingG2476 on the rightG1188 side of the altarG2379 of incenseG2368. 12And Zacharias was troubledG5015 when he sawG3708 him, and fearG5401 fell upon him.
