it fell to him by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter into the temple of the Lord to burn incense.

And he shall go before him in [the] spirit and power of Elias, to turn hearts of fathers to children, and disobedient ones to [the] thoughts of just [men], to make ready for [the] Lord a prepared people.

And Zacharias said to the angel, How shall I know this, for I am an old man, and my wife advanced in years?

And the angel answering, said to him, I am Gabriel, who stand before God, and I have been sent to speak to thee, and to bring these glad tidings to thee;

and behold, thou shalt be silent and not able to speak, till the day in which these things shall take place, because thou hast not believed my words, the which shall be fulfilled in their time.

And the people were awaiting Zacharias, and they wondered at his delaying in the temple.

But when he came out he could not speak to them, and they recognised that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he was making signs to them, and continued dumb.

And it came to pass, when the days of his service were completed, he departed to his house.

Now after these days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,

But in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent of God to a city of Galilee, of which [the] name [was] Nazareth,

And the angel answering said to her, [The] Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and power of [the] Highest overshadow thee, wherefore the holy thing also which shall be born shall be called Son of God.

And behold, Elizabeth, thy kinswoman, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month to her that was called barren:

for nothing shall be impossible with God.

and entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elizabeth.

And it came to pass, as Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with [the] Holy Spirit,

and cried out with a loud voice and said, Blessed [art] thou amongst women, and blessed the fruit of thy womb.

For behold, as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the babe leaped with joy in my womb.
