1 My name's Zacharias. You can call me Zach if it's too much of a mouthful.

2 Zacharias heard the door close.

3 Zacharias was a minor painter when he wasn't living off his mistresses, and reputedly a dissolute.

4 And entered into the house of Zacharias and saluted Elisabeth.

5 Zacharias was troubled when he saw the angel, and fear gripped him.

6 The people were waiting for Zacharias,[] and were wondering at his delay in the temple.

7 Now Aggeus the prophet, and Zacharias the son of Addo, prophesied to the Jews that were in Judea and Jerusalem, in the name of the God of Israel.

8 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost and prophesied, saying.

9 And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.

10 And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.
