Coptic New Testament
1Since many have undertaken to set in order a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,

5There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the priestly division of Abijah. He had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

6They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.

7But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.

9according to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
