7And they were without children, because Elisabeth had never given birth, and they were at that time very old.
8Now it came about that in his turn he was acting as priest before God,
9And as was the way of the priests, he had to go into the Temple to see to the burning of perfumes.
10And all the people were offering prayers outside, at the time of the burning of perfumes.
11And he saw an angel of the Lord in his place on the right side of the altar.
12And Zacharias was troubled when he saw him, and fear came on him.
13But the angel said, Have no fear, Zacharias, for your prayer has come to the ears of God, and your wife Elisabeth will have a son, and his name will be John.
