==Overview==
 
Zechariah is mentioned only in the [[Gospel of Luke]]. He is introduced as a priest from the division of [[Abijah]] and the husband of [[Elizabeth]]. The miraculous birth of their son, [[John the Baptist]], was announced to Zechariah by the [[Angel Gabriel]] in the Temple. Zechariah was in disbelief as he and his wife were both very old. As a punishment he lost his voice until the birth of his son.
