Thematic Bible



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

But the angel said to him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.

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

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

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