In the days of King Herod of Judea, there was a priest of Abijah’s division named Zechariah. His wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

When his division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,

Then He ordered him to tell no one: “But go and show yourself to the priest, and offer what Moses prescribed for your cleansing as a testimony to them.”

A priest happened to be going down that road. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

Then one of them struck the high priest’s slave and cut off his right ear.

They seized Him, led Him away, and brought Him into the high priest’s house. Meanwhile Peter was following at a distance.
