But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zkharyah: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisheva shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name Yochanan.
Elohim is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
There was in the days of Herod, the king of Yhudah, a certain kohen named Zkharyah, of the course of Aviyah: and his wife was of the daughters of Aharon, and her name was Elisheva.
