Infancy Gospel of James — James' Conclusion
1 But at the hour of the salutation the priests went away, and Zacharias did not come forth to meet them with a blessing, according to his custom.
2 And the priests stood waiting for Zacharias to salute him at the prayer, and to glorify the Most High.
3 And he still delaying, they were all afraid.
4 But one of them ventured to go in, and he saw clotted blood beside the altar; and he heard a voice saying: Zacharias has been murdered, and his blood shall not be wiped up until his avenger come.
5 And hearing this saying, he was afraid, and went out and told it to the priests.
6 And they ventured in, and saw what had happened; and the fretwork of the temple made a wailing noise, and they rent their clothes from the top even to the bottom.
7 And they found not his body, but they found his blood turned into stone.
8 And they were afraid, and went out and reported to the people that Zacharias had been murdered.
9 And all the tribes of the people heard, and mourned, and lamented for him three days and three nights.
10 And after the three days, the priests consulted as to whom they should put in his place; and the lot fell upon Simeon.
11 For it was he who had been warned by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death until he should see the Christ in the flesh.
