Zacharias
A priest of the course of Abijah and the father of John the Baptist. Struck dumb for doubting Gabriel's announcement in the temple, he is filled with the Holy Spirit at his son's naming and sings the Benedictus (Luke 1:68-79), the church's morning canticle.

What MannaFest holds on Zacharias
This page carries the summary above and little else yet — not because the record is hidden, but because it is genuinely thin here.
This name is stored in a form the verse search cannot use — a title or a qualifier rather than a single name as the text writes it — so no mention list was built. Nave’s Topical Bible carries no heading under this name either, and no study on the site cites a passage where it appears.
Marcus Brown’s commentary and curated connections arrive here as he writes and approves them. Until then the doors below lead to the parts of the site that are built out.
