10. There was a large crowd outside praying at the time the incense was offered.
11. Then, on the right side of the incense table, an angel of the Lord came and stood before Zechariah.
12. When he saw the angel, Zechariah was upset and very afraid.
13. But the angel said to him, “Zechariah, don’t be afraid. Your prayer has been heard by God. Your wife Elizabeth will give birth to a baby boy, and you will name him John.
14. You will be very happy, and many others will share your joy over his birth.
