But it came to pass, as he was doing priestly service in the order of his daily course, before God, according to the custom of his priesthood, it fell to his lot to offer incense, entering into the Temple of the Lord; and, all the throng of the people, was praying outside, at the hour of the incense offering. And there appeared unto him a messenger of the Lord, standing on the right hand of the altar of incense; and Zachariah was troubled when he beheld, and, fear, fell upon him. But the messenger said unto him - Do not fear, Zachariah! Inasmuch as thy supplication hath been hearkened to, - and, thy wife Elizabeth, shall bring forth a son to thee, and thou shalt call his name, John; And there shall be joy to thee and exulting, and, many, over his birth, shall rejoice; For he shall be great before the Lord, and, wine and strong drink, in nowise may he drink, and, with Holy Spirit, shall he be filled, already, from his mother's womb; And, many of the Sons of Israel, shall he turn towards the Lord their God; And, he, shall go before him, in the spirit and power of Elijah, - To turn the hearts of fathers unto children, and the unyielding, into the prudence of the righteous, and to prepare, for the Lord, a people made ready. And Zachariah said unto the messenger - Whereby, shall I know this? for, I, am, aged, and, my wife, advanced in her days. And the messenger, answering, said unto him - I, am Gabriel, - he that standeth near before God; and have been sent forth to speak unto thee, and to deliver the joyful message unto thee, as touching these things. And lo! thou shalt be silent, and not able to speak until the day when these things shall come to pass; because thou didst not believe in my words, - the which shall be fulfilled for their season. And the people were expecting Zachariah, and began to marvel that he should tarry in the Temple; and when he came forth he was not able to speak unto them, and they perceived that, a vision, he had seen in the Temple, - and, he, continued making signs unto them, and remained dumb. And it came to pass, when the days of his public ministration were fulfilled, that he departed unto his house. And, after these days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and she disguised herself five months, saying - Thus, for me, hath the Lord wrought, - in the days in which he looked upon me, to take away my reproach among men.
