The New Testament includes a number of interactions and conversations between angels and humans. For instance, three separate cases of angelic interaction deal with the births of John the Baptist and Jesus Christ. In Luke 1:11, an angel appears to Zechariah to inform him that he will have a child despite his old age, thus proclaiming the birth of John the Baptist[9] And in Luke 1:26 the archangel Gabriel visits the Virgin Mary in the Annunciation to foretell the birth of Jesus Christ.[10] Angels then proclaim the birth of Jesus in the Adoration of the shepherds in Luke 2:10.[11] Angels also appear later in the New Testament. In Luke 22:43 an angel comforts Jesus Christ during the Agony in the Garden.[12] In Matthew 28:5 an angel speaks at the empty tomb, following the Ressurection of Jesus and the rolling back of the stone by angels
(A common popular belief—or at least metaphor—that angels are former humans, most major religious organizations deny such a view, and this position is held only by Latter Day Saints and the Bahá'í Faith.
