According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.

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.

He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

He hath helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;

As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.
