1:2 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word.
1:3 Therefore, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,
1:4 so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.
1:5 In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah; his wife Elizabeth was also a descendant of Aaron.
1:6 Both of them were upright in the sight of God, observing all the Lord's commandments and regulations blamelessly.
1:7 But they had no children, because Elizabeth was barren; and they were both well along in years.
1:8 Once when Zechariah's division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,
1:9 he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to go into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
1:10 And when the time for the burning of incense came, all the assembled worshipers were praying outside.
1:11 Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
1:12 When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and was gripped with fear.
1:13 But the angel said to him: "Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to give him the name John.
