[Easton 한국어 번역] (1.) 다윗이 본래 제사장들을 나누어 세운 스물네 반열 가운데 여덟째인 아비야 반열의 제사장이다(대상 23:1-19). 이 제사장 반열, 곧 “가문” 가운데 오직 넷만 포로 생활에서 돌아왔으나(스 2:36-39), 그 후 옛 명칭에 따라 다시 나뉘었다. 제사장들은 해마다 두 차례 성전에서 봉사하였으며, 한 번에 한 주일씩만 봉사하였다. 사가랴에게 이 봉사의 차례가 돌아왔다. 이 기간에 그는 성전 경내의 가장자리에 제사장들을 위해 따로 마련된 방들 가운데 하나에 거처하였을 것이다. 분향은 성전의 날마다 드리는 예배에서 가장 엄숙한 부분 가운데 하나였으며, 누가 이 큰 영예를 누릴 것인지 정하기 위해 날마다 제비를 뽑았다. 이 영예는 어느 제사장도 평생에 한 번 이상 누릴 수 없었다. 사가랴가 성소의 금 향단에서 직무를 수행하고 있을 때, 천사 가브리엘은 역시 제사장 가문 출신이며 이제 나이가 많은 그의 아내 엘리사벳이 아들을 낳을 것이며, 그 이름을 요한이라 해야 하고, 그가 오랫동안 기다려 온 메시야의 선구자가 될 것이라고 그에게 알렸다(눅 1:12-17). 그는 이 소식을 믿으려 하지 않은 벌로 벙어리가 되어 “이 일이 되는 날까지 말을 못하게” 되었다(20절). 아홉 달이 지나 엘리사벳의 아이가 태어났고, 사람들이 묻는 말에 사가랴가 “서판”에 “그 이름은 요한이라”라고 쓰자 그의 입이 열렸으며, 그는 하나님을 찬송하였다(60-79절). 이처럼 “때를 벗어나 태어난” 그 아이, 곧 세례 요한은 “심령이 강하여졌다”(1:80). (2.) 성전과 제단 사이에서 죽임을 당한 것으로 언급되는 “바라갸의 아들”이다(마 23:35; 눅 11:51). 어떤 이들의 생각처럼, 여기서 “바라갸”는 여호야다의 또 다른 이름일 수도 있다. (스가랴 항목 참조.)

[Easton] (1.) A priest of the course of Abia, the eighth of the twenty-four courses into which the priests had been originally divided by David (1 Chr. 23:1-19). Only four of these courses or “families” of the priests returned from the Exile (Ezra 2:36-39); but they were then re-distributed under the old designations. The priests served at the temple twice each year, and only for a week each time. Zacharias’s time had come for this service. During this period his home would be one of the chambers set apart for the priests on the sides of the temple ground. The offering of incense was one of the most solemn parts of the daily worship of the temple, and lots were drawn each day to determine who should have this great honour, an honour which no priest could enjoy more than once during his lifetime. While Zacharias ministered at the golden altar of incense in the holy place, it was announced to him by the angel Gabriel that his wife Elisabeth, who was also of a priestly family, now stricken in years, would give birth to a son who was to be called John, and that he would be the forerunner of the long-expected Messiah (Luke 1:12-17). As a punishment for his refusing to believe this message, he was struck dumb and “not able to speak until the day that these things should be performed” (20). Nine months passed away, and Elisabeth’s child was born, and when in answer to their inquiry Zacharias wrote on a “writing tablet,” “His name is John,” his mouth was opened, and he praised God (60-79). The child (John the Baptist), thus “born out of due time,” “waxed strong in spirit” (1:80). (2.) The “son of Barachias,” mentioned as having been slain between the temple and the altar (Matt. 23:35; Luke 11:51). “Barachias” here may be another name for Jehoiada, as some think. (See ZECHARIAH.) [Smith] (Greek form of Zechariah). Father of John the Baptist. (Luke 1:5) etc. He was a priest of the course of Abia. the eighth of the twenty-four courses who ministered at the temple in turn. He probably lived at Hebron. His wife’s name was Elisabeth. John was born to them in their old age, and the promise of this son was communicated to Zacharias by an angel while he was offering incense and praying in the temple. Son of Barachias, who, our Lord says, was slain by the Jews between the altar and the temple. (Matthew 23:35; Luke 11:61) There has been much dispute who this Zacharias was. Many of the Greek fathers have maintained that the father of John the Baptist is the person to whom our Lord alludes but there can be little or no doubt that the allusion is to Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada, (2 Chronicles 24:20,21) and he may have been called “the son” of Barachias from his grandfather. (B.C. 838.) He is mentioned as being the martyr last recorded in the Hebrew Scriptures (as Abel was the first) -d Chronicles being the last book in their canon. [Theographic] The son or grandson of Jehoiada, the high priest in the times of Ahaziah and Joash. After the death of Jehoiada he boldly condemned both the king and the people for their rebellion against God (2 Chr. 24:20), which so stirred up their resentment against him that at the king’s commandment they stoned him with stones, and he died “in the court of the house of the Lord” (24:21). Christ alludes to this deed of murder in Matt. 23:35, Luke 11:51.
