Thematic Bible



There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the priestly division of Abijah. He had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

But the angel said to him, "Don't be afraid, Zacharias, because your request has been heard, and your wife, Elizabeth, will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.

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

The people were waiting for Zacharias, and they marveled that he delayed in the temple.

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