Luke 1: 11-17
While Zechariah was in the sanctuary, an angel of
the Lord appeared to him, standing to the right of the incense altar.
Zechariah was shaken and
overwhelmed with fear when he saw him. But
the angel said, “Don’t be afraid, Zechariah! God has heard your prayer. Your
wife, Elizabeth, will give you a son, and you are to name him John.
You will have great joy and
gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth, for he will be great in the eyes of the Lord. He must
never touch wine or other alcoholic drinks. He will be filled with the Holy
Spirit, even before his birth. And
he will turn many Israelites to the Lord their God.
He will be a man with the spirit and power of Elijah. He
will prepare the people for the coming of the Lord. He will turn the hearts of
the fathers to their children, and he will cause those who are rebellious to
accept the wisdom of the godly."
