Commentary on Luke 1:12
Zacharias's trouble and fear upon seeing the angel reveals the natural human response to divine revelation. The Greek 'etarachthe' (troubled) and 'phobos epepesen' (fear fell upon) indicate overwhelming awe before the supernatural. Even righteous men recognize their unworthiness before God's messengers. This fear differs from terror—it's reverential awe mixed with awareness of human frailty before divine holiness. The pattern appears throughout Scripture: divine visitations produce fear that must be addressed with 'Fear not.'
