Zacharias ist eine biblische Figur, die im Neuen Testament erwähnt wird. Er war der Ehemann von Elisabeth und der Vater von Johannes dem Täufer. Zacharias war ein Priester im Tempel von Jerusalem und gehörte zur Abteilung Abia.
According to the Gospel of Luke, Zacharias and his wife Elisabeth were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. However, they were childless and advanced in years. One day, while Zacharias was performing his priestly duties in the temple, an angel of the Lord appeared to him and announced that Elisabeth would conceive and bear a son, who would be named John. Zacharias was initially skeptical and questioned how this could happen, since both he and his wife were old. As a result, the angel Gabriel struck him mute until the day of John's birth.
The prophecy of John's birth was fulfilled, and when Zacharias regained his ability to speak after writing John's name on a tablet as instructed by the angel, he praised God and prophesied about the future of his son. He recognized the significance of John's role as the one who would prepare the way for the Messiah.
Zacharias is primarily known for his role as the father of John the Baptist and for his encounter with the angel Gabriel. His story emphasizes the importance of faith and serves as a reminder of God's ability to fulfill His promises.
