rely believed among us,
Luke1:2 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
Luke1:3 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,
Luke1:4 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.
Luke1:5 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.
Luke1:6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
Luke1:7 And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.
Luke1:8 And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest''s office before God in the order of his course,
Luke1:9 According to the custom of the priest''s office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.
Luke1:10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.
Luke1:11 And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
Luke1:12 And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
