Zachariah in the Bible

There was, in the days of Herod the king of Judea, a certain priest, named Zachariah, of the class of Abijah; and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Eliza beth.

Now while Zachariah was acting as priest before God in the due course of his class, it fell to his lot, according to the custom of priesthood,

And Zachariah was troubled at the sight, and fear fell upon him.

But the angel said to him: Fear not, Zachariah; for your prayer is heard, and your wife Elizabeth shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.

And Zachariah said to the angel: By what sign shall I know this? for I am old, and my wife is advanced in years.

And the people were waiting for Zachariah, and they wondered that he stayed so long in the temple.

and she came into the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elizabeth.

And it came to pass, on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they called him by the name of his father, Zachariah.

And Zachariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying:

Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.

that the blood of all the prophets which has been shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah,

from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who was slain between the altar and the temple: verily I tell you, It shall be required of this generation.
