Do not be afraid

Now while Zechariah was serving as priest before God when his division was on duty,
he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter the holy place
of the Lord and burn incense.

Now the whole crowd of people were praying outside at the hour of the incense offering.
An angel of the Lord, standing on the right side of the altar of incense, appeared to him.
And Zechariah, visibly shaken when he saw the angel, was seized with fear.

But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard,
and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son; you will name him John".
‭‭Luke‬ ‭1:8-13 ‬(NET)
