When Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, his wife called Elisabeth. They have grown old, over ninety knee but no children.
At that time, Jerusalem temple priests serve God generally divided into 24 classes. Class twice a year turn to serve God in the temple every week. The most sacred of the most important tasks performed by the priests in the temple inside the incense altar. Each priest is keen to undertake this work because it is an honor for them. Later, the priest too much, you can only draw lots to decide who can get this rare opportunity. Some priests may also pumping once, so we regard the temple incense seen extremely important.
When Zechariah's name has finally been drawn, he excited, even some nervous, because this opportunity was too good. Zechariah stood before the altar of fragrant incense smell suck, he prayed that God can give people a king promised to save Israel. Suddenly, a sharp light pierced filled with smoke, Zechariah frightened. An angel standing next to him.
Angel said: "Your wife is going to bear a son, and thou shalt call his name John he will grow into a good and great man, like the prophet Elijah, he will turn many of the children of Israel rotation, prepare a people for God... the Holy Spirit was with him, he will lead the people to re-convert to God. "Zechariah advanced age for the country, do not believe that these words of the angel, his face looked puzzled angels.
Angel said: "My name is Gabriel, was ordered to come because you do not believe, will become mute, unable to speak, until the day things are.." Sure enough, after Zacharias out, can only talk with people with a gesture. It felt very strange, everyone thinks that is what Zechariah epiphany miracle encountered.
Soon, Zechariah's wife Elisabeth is pregnant with a child. After Zechariah home, what happened to write down, in this way, wanted to say to the heart to tell his wife.

In six months time Elisabeth already pregnant, the angel Gabriel was sent to the Virgin Mary of Nazareth home.
But the angel said to Mary: "You Meng charism, will have children."
Mary heard this, can not help but extremely confused: "? I have not married, how could there be such a thing yet."
Angel said: "Do not be afraid, I bring good news to the Lord be with you, Mary, the Holy Spirit will come upon you and you will give birth to a son, and called the Son of God, he will become an extraordinary man... he was the long-awaited king, a descendant of David, and his kingdom will last forever.
"How could such a thing happen to me then?" Mary asked in surprise, "I'm not married yet!"
"For the word of God, nothing is impossible, and your relatives Elisabeth This is not birth, is now six months pregnant with a boy." Angel Gabriel said.
After leaving the angel Gabriel, Mary thought for a long time, how she was able to put down this heart too! She decided to go and visit the Elisabeth - it was her most trusted people, maybe you can solve their own perplexities.
Mary entered Zechariah's door, give Elisabeth asked Ann. Elisabeth saw Mary felt her baby move.
Elisabeth loudly to Mary, said: "Mary, you are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of the womb is our blessed hope you will be the king's mother for many years, your son will come!! save us! Lord, how come my mother home? "

On the eighth day, the children will be held immediately circumcision, someone to take your name for the child pro - Zechariah.
"No," Elisabeth firmly said, "His name is John!"
"Why call him?" We do not understand, quickly asked.
