*fear fell upon him:* To be afraid at the presence of God or His messenger is common in Scripture (Luke 1:29,65; 2:9; 5:8-10,26; 7:16; 8:37; 9:34; see also Exodus 15:16; Daniel 8:16,17; Acts 5:5,11; 19:17).
*Do not be afraid:* Angels often calmed the fears of those to whom they appeared (Luke 1:30; 2:10; Genesis 15:1; Daniel 10:12; Matthew 1:20; Acts 18:9; 27:24; Revelation 1:17).
*your prayer is heard:* The angel was probably referring to the prayer for the redemption of Israel that Zacharias had recited in the holy place, or to his earlier prayers for a child.
*you shall call his name John:* When God names a child, greatness usually follows (Genesis 16:11; 1 Kings 13:2; Isaiah 7:14).
