Thematic Bible



In the days of Herod the king of Judea, there was a certain priest by the name of Zachariah, of the class of Abijah; and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. And they had no son, because Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in years. read more.
And when he was performing the priest's office in the order of his class before God, it fell to his lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to go into the temple of the Lord to burn incense; and all the multitude of the people were praying without, at the hour of incense. And an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense; and Zachariah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him. And 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 he shall be to you a joy and rejoicing; and many shall rejoice at his birth; for he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall not drink wine and strong drink, but shall be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his birth; and many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of fathers to children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. And Zachariah said to the angel, By what shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife advanced in years. And the angel answered and said to him, I am Gabriel, who stand before God; and I was sent to speak to you, and to tell you this good news. And behold you shall be silent, and not able to speak, till the day these things are accomplished; because you have not believed my words, which shall be fulfilled in their time. And the people waited for Zachariah, and wondered that he staid so long in the temple. And when he came out he could not speak to them; and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he made signs to them, and continued dumb. And when the days of his service were completed he departed to his house. And after these days Elizabeth his wife became pregnant, and hid herself five months, saying, Thus has the Lord dealt with me, in the days in which he looked upon me to take away my reproach among men.
