  The beginning of the Gospel according to Saint Luke there
• 0:07
  was in the days of Herod the king of Judea, a certain priest
• 0:12
  named Zachary of the chorus of Abya.
• 0:17
  And his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name
• 0:21
  Elizabeth. And they were both just before
• 0:24
  God, walking in all the commandments and justifications
• 0:29
  of the Lord without blame. And they had no son for that.
• 0:33
  Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in
• 0:37
  years. And it came to pass when he
• 0:40
  executed his priestly function in the order of his course
• 0:44
  before God, according to the custom of the priestly office.
• 0:49
  It was his lot to offer incense going into the temple of the
• 0:53
  Lord, and all the multitude of the people was praying without
• 0:57
  at the hour of incense. And there appeared to him an
• 1:01
  Angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of
• 1:05
  incense. And Zachary seeing him, was
• 1:08
  troubled, and fear fell upon him.
• 1:12
  But the Angel said to him, Fear not Zachary, for thy prayer is
• 1:17
  heard. And thy wife Elizabeth shall
• 1:20
  bear thee a son. And thou shalt call his name
• 1:23
  John, and thou shalt have joy and gladness.
• 1:27
  And many shall rejoice at his nativity.
• 1:30
  For he shall be great before the Lord, and shall drink no wine
• 1:35
  nor strong drink. And he shall be filled with the
• 1:38
  Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb, And he shall
• 1:43
  convert many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.
• 1:48
  And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias,
• 1:53
  that he may turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and
• 1:57
  the incredulous to the wisdom of the just, to prepare unto the
• 2:02
  Lord a perfect people.
