51In the daysG2250 of HerodG2264, kingG935 of JudeaG2453, there was a priestG2409 namedG3686 2ZachariasG2197, of the 3divisionG2183 of 4AbijahG7; and he had a wifeG1135 5from the daughtersG2364 of AaronG2, and her nameG3686 was ElizabethG1665. 6They were bothG297 6righteousG1342 in the sightG1727 of GodG2316, walkingG4198 7blamelesslyG273 in allG3956 the commandmentsG1785 and requirementsG1345 of the LordG2962. 7But they hadG1510 noG3756 childG5043, becauseG2530 ElizabethG1665 was barrenG4723, and they were bothG297 advancedG4260 in 8yearsG2250.
8NowG1161 it happenedG1096 that whileG1722 9he was performingG2407 his priestlyG2407 serviceG2407 beforeG1725 GodG2316 in the appointed orderG5010 of his divisionG2183, 9accordingG2596 to the customG1485 of the priestlyG2405 officeG2405, he was chosenG2975 by lotG2975 10to enterG1525 the templeG3485 of the LordG2962 and burnG2370 incenseG2370. 10And the wholeG3956 multitudeG4128 of the peopleG2992 were in prayerG4336 11outsideG1854 at the hourG5610 of the incenseG2368 offering. 11And 12an angelG32 of the LordG2962 appearedG3708 to him, standingG2476 to the rightG1188 of the altarG2379 of incenseG2368. 12ZachariasG2197 was troubledG5015 when he sawG3708 the angel, and 13fearG5401 14grippedG1968 him. 13But the angelG32 saidG3004 to him, “15Do not be afraidG5399, ZachariasG2197, for your petitionG1162 has been heardG1522, and your wifeG1135 ElizabethG1665 will bearG1080 you a sonG5207, and 16you will 17giveG2564 him the nameG3686 JohnG2491.
