Your wife Elizabeth is to bear you a son and you shall name him John. 14 He will be your joy and delight and many will rejoice at his birth, 15 for he will be great in the sight of the Lord; he must drink no wine, no strong drink; even from his mother's womb he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, 16 and he will bring back many of the 'Israelites to the Lord their God. 17 With the spirit and power of Elijah（厄里亚）, he will go before him to reconcile fathers to their children and the disobedient to the good sense of the upright, preparing for the Lord a people fit for him.' 18 Zechariah said to the angel, 'How can I know this? I am an old man and my wife is getting on in years.' 19 The angel replied, 'I am Gabriel（加俾额尔）, who stand in God's presence, and I have been sent to speak to you and bring you this good news. 20 Look! Since you did not believe my words, which will come true at their appointed time, you will be silenced and have no power of speech until this has happened.' 21 Meanwhile the people were waiting for Zechariah and were surprised that he stayed in the sanctuary so long. 22 When he came out he could not speak to them, and they realised that he had seen a vision in the sanctuary. But he could only make signs to them and remained dumb. 23 When his time of service came to an end he returned home. 24 Some time later his wife Elizabeth conceived and for five months she kept to herself, saying, 25 'The Lord has done this for me, now that it has pleased him to take away the humiliation I suffered in public.' 　　 单字： dumb (a) 哑的 deaf (a) 聋的 humiliation　*n. 耻辱, 丢脸, 谦卑 conceive　*v. 想像, 构思, 以为, 表达, 怀孕 dumb　*a. 哑的, 无声的, 沉默的 sign　*n. 符号, 招牌, 徵兆, 正负号, 手势; v. 签名, 打手势表达 --> make signs 打手势 vision　*n. 视觉, 先见之明, 眼光, 洞察力, 视力, 幻想; v. 梦见, 想像, 显示 --> to see a vision 看到启示 speech　*n. 言语, 说话, 说话方式, 演说, 讲话 --> He has no power of speech. 他失去讲话的能力 appoint　*vt. 指派, 委派, 任命, 分派, 分配, 指定, 约定 presence　*n. 出席, 面前, 存在, 风度, 态度 -> I am Gabriel（加俾额尔）, who stand in God's presence. （我是站在天主面前的加俾额尔.） get on in years　*上了年纪, 年事已高 fit　*v. 适合, 配合, 合身, 安装, 装置, 符合; a. 适合的, 恰当的, 健康的 disobedient　*a. 不服从的, 不孝的, 违背 -> the disobedient 不服从的人们 reconcile　*v. 使和解, 调停, 使和谐, 使一致, 使顺从, 使听从 'Israelite　*n. 以色列人, 犹太人 [ˋɪzrɪəl] rejoice　*v. 使欢喜, 欣喜, 高兴, 庆祝 delight　*n. 娱乐, 高兴, 愉快; v. 使高兴, 乐於, 喜爱 disturb　*v. 弄乱, 打乱, 打扰, 扰乱 overcome　*v. 战胜, 克服, 胜过, 得胜 三态：overcome-overcame-overcome altar　*n. 祭坛, 神坛, 圣坛, 圣餐台 incense *n. 香, 香气, 奉承; v. 焚香, 使发怒 sanctuary *n. 圣所, 耶路撒冷的神殿, 避难所, 动物保护区 custom *v. 定制; n. 自定义, 习惯, 风俗, 海关 lot *n. 运气, 签, 抽签, 份额, 许多, 一堆; v. 划分, 抽签, 抓阄 fall to *开始, 进入, 落到 例句：It fell to him by lot.　他被抽签抽到。 (三态：fall-fell-fallen) exercise *n. 练习, 习题, 训练, 锻炼, 行使, 运用, 实行, 演习, 操练; v. 训练, 锻炼, 行使 priestly *a. 僧的, 僧侣似的 office *n. 办公室, 办事处, 事务所, 职务, 职责, 功能 --> He is exercising his priestly office. 　（他正在执行司祭的职务。） advanced　*a. 先进的, 高等的, 高深的, 年老的, 年迈的 barren　*a. 不育的, 不能生育的, 贫瘠的, 无趣的, 白费力气的, 无益的, 缺乏的; n. 荒地, 不毛之地, 荒野 childless　*a. 无子女的 observance　*n. 遵守, 仪式, 惯例 carry out　*开展, 贯彻, 执行, 履行, 实现, 完成 commandment　*n. 戒律 impeccable　*a. 无懈可击的, 无缺点的, 无瑕疵的, 不会做坏事的 sight　*n. 景观, 视力, 眼界, 阅读, 见解, 意见; 　　　　v. 看见, 瞄准, 观看; a. 即席的 ---> in the sight of God 在上主眼中 descendant　*n. 後裔, 後代, 传下来的东西; a. 传下的, 下降的 [dɪˋsɛndənt] priesthood　*n. 神职, 僧职, 祭司职 section　*n. 部分, 章节, 地段, 断面, 剖面, 部门, 科, 阶层, 界; v. 把...分成段 --
