6 For Elizabeth could not climb up,
7 And instantly the mountain was divided and received them.
8 And there appeared to them an angel of the Lord to preserve them.
9 But Herod made search after John, and sent servants to Zacharias, when he was (ministering) at the altar, and said unto him, Were hast thou hid thy son?
10 He replied, to them, I am a minister of God, and a servant at the altar: how should I know where my son is?
11 So the servants went back, and told Herod the whole; at which he was incensed, and said, Is not this son of his like to be king of Israel?
12 He sent therefore again his servants to Zacharias, saying, Tell us the truth, where is thy son, for you know that your life is in my hand.
13 So the servants went and told him all this:
14 But Zacharias replied to them, I am a martyr for God, and if ye skied my blood, the Lord will receive my soul.
15 Besides know that ye shed innocent blood.
