-==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, when he prophesied the coming of the [[Messiah]].
-Later Christian tradition would speculate about the death of Zechariah, claiming that was killed by [[Herod the Great]] at the time of the [[Massacre of the Innocents]],as he refused to reveal the whereabouts of his son.
-The Koran also presents Zechariah as a priest and the father of John the Baptist, and emphasized is role as prophet.
