5 During the reign of King Herod of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly order of Abijah. His wife was a descendant of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6 Both of them were righteous before God, having lived blamelessly according to all of the commandments and regulations of the Lord. 7 They had no children because Elizabeth was barren and because both of them were getting old. 8 When Zechariah was serving with his division of priests in God's presence, 9 he was chosen by lot to go into the sanctuary of the Lord and burn incense, according to the custom of the priests.
