8 And it happened that while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his division,
9 according to the custom of the priesthood he was chosen by lot to enter into the temple of the Lord to burn incense.

13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will call his name John.
