    10And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the time of incense.

    11An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.

    12When Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.

    13But the angel said to him, Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.
