His wife, Elizabeth, was also a descendant of Aaron. 6 Both were righteous in the sight of God, living blamelessly according to all the commandments and requirements of the Lord. 7 But they had no children, because Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in years. 8 Now it happened that while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his division, 9 according to the custom of the priesthood, he was chosen by lot to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense. 10 At the time of the incense offering, the whole assembly of the people was praying outside. 11 Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing to the right of the altar of incense. 12 When Zechariah saw him, he was startled, and fear fell upon him. 13 But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to name him John. 14 You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth. 15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord and will never drink wine or strong drink. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb. 16 He will turn many of the children of Israel back to the Lord their God. 17 And he will go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of fathers to their children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, to prepare a people fit for the Lord.
