4that thou mightest know the certainty concerning the things wherein thou wast instructed.
5There was in the days of Herod, king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abijah: and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
6And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
7And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were [now] well stricken in years.
8Now it came to pass, while he executed the priest`s office before God in the order of his course,
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.
