Zacharias

In the time of Herod King of Iudea, there was a certaine Priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabet.

And when Zacharias sawe him, he was troubled, and feare fell vpon him.

But the Angel saide vnto him, Feare not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard, and thy wise Elisabet shall beare thee a sonne, and thou shalt call his name Iohn.

Then Zacharias said vnto ye Angel, Whereby shall I knowe this? for I am an olde man, and my wife is of a great age.

Now the people waited for Zacharias, and marueiled that he taried so long in the Temple.

And entred into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabet.

And it was so that on the eight day they came to circumcise the babe, and called him Zacharias after the name of his father.

Then his father Zacharias was filled with the holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,

(When Annas and Caiaphas were the hie Priestes) the worde of God came vnto Iohn, the sonne of Zacharias in the wildernes.
