Gospel of Luke
Hi,
It's here:
بار که نوبتِ خدمت گروه زکریا بود، و او در پیشگاه خدا کهانت میکرد،۹بنابه رسم کاهنان، قرعۀ دخول به قدسِ معبدِ خداوند و سوزاندن بخور به نام وی افتاد.۱۰در زمان سوزاندن بخور، تمام جماعتْ بیرون سرگرم دعا بودند۱۱
کهانت refers to performing one's priestly duties, I think.
Best wishes,
Simon
