9according to the custom of the priest`s office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
10And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the hour of incense.
11And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of altar of incense.
12And Zacharias was troubled when he saw [him], and fear fell upon him.
13But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: because thy supplication is heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
14And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
15For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother`s womb.
