Thematic Bible: Father of john the baptist


Thematic Bible



There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zachariah, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

But the angel said unto 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 his father Zachariah was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,

And the people waited for Zachariah, and marveled that he tarried so long in the temple.

And they made signs to his father, what he would have him called.
