Zechariah
A fearful priest
Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him … When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and

been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John’ – Luke 1:11-13

He will bring back many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God. And he will go on before the
