Since many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,

even as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word delivered them to us,

There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zechariah, of the division of Abijah. He had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.

according to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.

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

Zechariah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.

He will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, 'to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,' and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."

It happened, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.
