5   There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
εγενετο εν ταις ημεραις ηρωδου του βασιλεως της ιουδαιας ιερευς τις ονοματι ζαχαριας εξ εφημεριας αβια και η γυνη αυτου εκ των θυγατερων ααρων και το ονομα αυτης ελισαβετ

6   And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
ησαν δε δικαιοι αμφοτεροι ενωπιον του θεου πορευομενοι εν πασαις ταις εντολαις και δικαιωμασιν του κυριου αμεμπτοι

7   And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.
και ουκ ην αυτοις τεκνον καθοτι η ελισαβετ ην στειρα και αμφοτεροι προβεβηκοτες εν ταις ημεραις αυτων ησαν

8   And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course,
εγενετο δε εν τω ιερατευειν αυτον εν τη ταξει της εφημεριας αυτου εναντι του θεου

9   According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.
κατα το εθος της ιερατειας ελαχεν του θυμιασαι εισελθων εις τον ναον του κυριου

10   And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.
και παν το πληθος του λαου ην προσευχομενον εξω τη ωρα του θυμιαματος

11   And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
ωφθη δε αυτω αγγελος κυριου εστως εκ δεξιων του θυσιαστηριου του θυμιαματος

12   And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
και εταραχθη ζαχαριας ιδων και φοβος επεπεσεν επ αυτον

13   But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
ειπεν δε προς αυτον ο αγγελος μη φοβου ζαχαρια διοτι εισηκουσθη η δεησις σου και η γυνη σου ελισαβετ γεννησει υιον σοι και καλεσεις το ονομα αυτου ιωαννην
