Luke 1
1 Seeing that many did take in hand to set in order a narration of the matters that have been fully assured among us,

5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest, by name Zacharias, of the course of Abijah, and his wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elisabeth;

6 and they were both righteous before God, going on in all the commands and righteousnesses of the Lord blameless,

7 and they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and both were advanced in their days.

8 And it came to pass, in his acting as priest, in the order of his course before God,

9 according to the custom of the priesthood, his lot was to make perfume, having gone into the sanctuary of the Lord,

11 And there appeared to him a messenger of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of the perfume,

17 and he shall go before Him, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn hearts of fathers unto children, and disobedient ones to the wisdom of righteous ones, to make ready for the Lord, a people prepared.'

18 And Zacharias said unto the messenger, 'Whereby shall I know this? for I am aged, and my wife is advanced in her days?'

22 and having come out, he was not able to speak to them, and they perceived that a vision he had seen in the sanctuary, and he was beckoning to them, and did remain dumb.
