Contextual Overview
5 In the days of Herod the king of Judea, there was a certain priest named Zacharias, of the daily course of Abijah. And his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6 And they were both righteous before God, walking blameless in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord. 7 And no child was born to them, because Elizabeth was barren. And both were advanced in their days. 8 And it happened in his serving as priest in the order of his course before God, 9 according to the custom of the priests, entering into the Holy Place of the Lord, it was Zacharias' lot to burn incense. 10 And all the multitude of the people was praying outside at the hour of incense. 11 And an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right of the altar of incense. 12 And seeing this , Zacharias was troubled, and fear fell on him. 13 But the angel said to him, Do not fear, Zacharias, because your prayer was heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear a son to you, and you shall call his name John. 14 And he will be joy and exultation to you, and many will rejoice over his birth.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And when Zacharias saw him,.... The angel; he was troubled, and fear fell upon him; for such appearances of angels were not now so common as formerly: and when they were more usual, generally had such effects on the minds, even of good men; see Judges 6:22.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
He was troubled - He was alone, in the presence of God. The appearance of the angel was sudden, unexpected, and therefore fearful.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Luke 1:12. Zacharias - was troubled — Or, confounded at his sudden and unexpected appearance; and fear fell upon him, lest this heavenly messenger were come to denounce the judgments of God against a faithless and disobedient people, who had too long and too well merited them.
