none of thy kindred We find a John among hierarchs in Acts 4:6; Acts 5:17. Those priests however who passed the High Priesthood from one to another a clique of Herodian Sadducees the Boethusîm, Kamhiths, Benî Hanan, &c. were partly of Babylonian and Egyptian origin, and had been introduced by Herod to support his purposes. They would not be of the kin of Zacharias.
