¹⁰And al the multitude of the puple was with outforth, and preiede in the our of encensyng.

¹¹And an aungel of the Lord apperide to hym, and stood on the riythalf of the auter of encense.

¹²And Zacarie seynge was afraied, and drede fel vpon hym.

¹³And the aungel seide to hym, Zacarie, drede thou not; for thi preyer is herd, and Elizabeth, thi wijf, schal bere to thee a sone, and his name schal be clepid Joon.

¹⁴And ioye and gladyng schal be to thee; and many schulen `haue ioye in his natyuyte.

²⁰And lo! thou schalt be doumbe, and thou schalt not mow speke til in to the dai, in which these thingis schulen be don; for thou hast not bileued to my wordis, whiche schulen be fulfillid in her tyme.

²¹And the puple was abidynge Zacarie, and thei wondriden, that he tariede in the temple.

²²And he yede out, and myyte not speke to hem, and thei knewen that he hadde seyn a visioun in the temple. And he bikenyde to hem, and he dwellide stille doumbe.

²³And it was don, whanne the daies of his office weren fulfillid, he wente in to his hous.
