Survey of ancient sources on Zechariah the Priest.
Overview
Early Christian sources
Luke.1.5 In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah, of the division of Abijah. And he had a wife from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. Luke.1.12 And Zechariah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him. Luke.1.13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. Luke.1.18 And Zechariah said to the angel, “How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.” Luke.1.21 And the people were waiting for Zechariah, and they were wondering at his delay in the temple. Luke.1.40 and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. Luke.1.59 And on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child. And they would have called him Zechariah after his father, Luke.1.67 And his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying, Luke.3.2 during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness.
