11NowG1161 1an angelG32 of the LordG2962 appearedG3708 to him, standingG2476 to the rightG1188 of the altarG2379 of incenseG2368.

12ZechariahG2197 was troubledG5015 when he sawG3708 the angel, and 2fearG5401 3grippedG1968 him.

13But the angelG32 saidG3004 to him, “4Do not beG5399 afraidG5399, ZechariahG2197, for your prayerG1162 has been heardG1522, and your wifeG1135 ElizabethG1665 will bearG1080 you a sonG5207, and 5you shall 6nameG2564G3686 him JohnG2491.

14You will have joyG5479 and gladnessG20, and manyG4183 will rejoiceG5463 overG1909 his birthG1078.
