that on you may come all the righteous blood being poured out on the earth from the blood of Abel the righteous, unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the sanctuary and the altar:

There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest, by name Zacharias, of the course of Abijah, and his wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elisabeth;

and Zacharias, having seen, was troubled, and fear fell on him;

and the messenger said unto him, 'Fear not, Zacharias, for thy supplication was heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear a son to thee, and thou shalt call his name John,

And Zacharias said unto the messenger, 'Whereby shall I know this? for I am aged, and my wife is advanced in her days?'

And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and wondering at his tarrying in the sanctuary,

and entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.

And it came to pass, on the eighth day, they came to circumcise the child, and they were calling him by the name of his father, Zacharias,

And Zacharias his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and did prophesy, saying,

Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests -- there came a word of God unto John the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness,

from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, who perished between the altar and the house; yes, I say to you, It shall be required from this generation.
