Coptic New Testament
1Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a narration of the things that have been accomplished among us;

2According as they have delivered them unto us, who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word:

3It seemed good to me also, having diligently attained to all things from the beginning, to write to thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,

5There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zachary, of the course of Abia; and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elizabeth.

6And they were both just before God, walking in all the commandments and justifications of the Lord without blame.

7And they had no son, for that Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.

8And it came to pass, when he executed the priestly function in the order of his course before God,

9According to the custom of the priestly office, it was his lot to offer incense, going into the temple of the Lord.

10And all the multitude of the people was praying without, at the hour of incense.

11And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right side of the alter of incense.

13But the angel said to him: Fear not, Zachary, for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John:

18And Zachary said to the angel: Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.

20And behold, thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be able to speak until the day wherein these things shall come to pass, because thou hast not believed my words, which shall be fulfilled in their time.

21And the people were waiting for Zachary; and they wondered that he tarried so long in the temple.

22And when he came out, he could not speak to them: and they understood that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he made signs to them, and remained dumb.

23And it came to pass, after the days of his office were accomplished, he departed to his own house.

24And after those days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and hid herself five months, saying:
