Luke 1:5-12

5InG1722 theG3588 timeG2250 of HerodG2264 kingG935 of JudeaG2449 there wasG1096 aG5100 priestG2409 namedG3686 ZechariahG2197, who belonged toG1537 the priestly divisionG2183 of AbijahG7, andG2532 whose wifeG1135 ElizabethG2532G846G3588G3686G1665 was aG3588 descendantG2364 of AaronG2. 6BothG297 of them wereG1510 righteousG1342 in the sight ofG1726 GodG2316, walkingG4198 blamelesslyG273 inG1722 allG3956 theG3588 commandmentsG1785 andG2532 decreesG1345 of theG3588 LordG2962. 7ButG2532 theyG846 hadG1510 noG3756 childrenG5043, becauseG2530 ElizabethG1665 wasG1510 barrenG4723, andG2532 they wereG1510 bothG297 well alongG4260 inG1722 yearsG2250.

8One dayG1161G1096 whileG3588 Zechariah’s divisionG2183 was on dutyG1722G3588G5010 and heG846 was serving as priestG2407 beforeG1725 GodG2316, 9he was chosen by lotG2975, according toG2596 theG3588 customG1485 of theG3588 priesthoodG2405, to enterG1525G1519 theG3588 templeG3485 of theG3588 LordG2962 and burn incenseG2370. 10AndG2532 at theG3588 hourG5610 of theG3588 incense offeringG2368, theG3588 wholeG3956 congregationG4128G3588G2992 wasG1510 prayingG4336 outsideG1854.

11Just thenG1161 an angelG32 of the LordG2962 appearedG3708 toG846 Zechariah, standingG2476 atG1537 the right sideG1188 of theG3588 altarG2379 of incenseG2368. 12WhenG2532 ZechariahG2197 sawG3708 him, he was startledG5015 andG2532 grippedG1968G1909G846 with fearG5401.
