Lucas 1:8 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 1:8

And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's
office
To which he was called and ordained, even to offer gifts and sacrifices for men; whilst he was in the way of his duty, when oftentimes God appears to, and in favour of his people; whilst he was performing it,

before God;
in the temple, where was the symbol of the divine presence, before the altar of the Lord; and as having the fear of God before his eyes; considering himself as in the sight of God, and doing his work faithfully and sincerely:

in the order of his course;
taking his turn in the order of the course of Abia, to which he belonged; (See Gill on Luke 1:5).

Lucas 1:8 In-Context

6 Ambos eran rectos e intachables delante de Dios; obedecían todos los mandamientos y preceptos del Señor.

7 Pero no tenían hijos, porque Elisabet era estéril; y los dos eran de edad avanzada.

8 Un día en que Zacarías, por haber llegado el turno de su grupo, oficiaba como sacerdote delante de Dios,

9 le tocó en suerte, según la costumbre del sacerdocio, entrar en el santuario del Señor para quemar incienso.

10 Cuando llegó la hora de ofrecer el incienso, la multitud reunida afuera estaba orando.
