NASB
"Now it happened that while he was performing his priestly service before God in the appointed order of his division,"
— Luke 1:8, NASB
“And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his course,”
“Now it came to pass, while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his course, ”
“Now it happened, while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his division,”
“Now while Zechariah was serving as priest before God when his division was on duty,”
“And it came to pass, when he executed the priestly function in the order of his course before God,”
“Now it came about that in his turn he was acting as priest before God,”
“And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his course,”
In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zacharias, of the division of Abijah; and he had a wife from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
They were both righteous in the sight of God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and requirements of the Lord.
But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in years.
Now it happened that while he was performing his priestly service before God in the appointed order of his division,
according to the custom of the priestly office, he was chosen by lot to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
And the whole multitude of the people were in prayer outside at the hour of the incense offering.
And an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing to the right of the altar of incense.
