commandments andregulations.'They had no children because Elizabeth wasbarren,and now they were both very old.  \nOne day Zechariah was serving God in the Temple,forhis order was on duty that week.⁹As was the custom ofthe priests,he was chosen by lot to enter the sanctuaryand burn incense in the Lord's presence.1°While theincense was being burned,a great crowd stood outside,praying.  \nZechariah was in the sanctuary when an angel of theLord appeared,standing to the right of the incense altar.²Zechariah was overwhelmed with fear.³But the angel  \n工  \nsaid,\"Don't be afraid,Zechariah!For God has heard yourprayer,and your wife,Elizabeth,will bear you a son!Andyou are to name him John.⁴You will have great joy andgladness,and many will rejoice with you at his birth,⁵forhe will be great in
