11And he saw an angel of the Lord in his place on the right side of the altar.
12And Zacharias was troubled when he saw him, and fear came on him.
13But the angel said, Have no fear, Zacharias, for your prayer has come to the ears of God, and your wife Elisabeth will have a son, and his name will be John.
14And you will be glad and have great delight; and numbers of people will have joy at his birth.
15For he will be great in the eyes of the Lord; he will not take wine or strong drink; and he will be full of the Spirit of God from his birth.
16And through him great numbers of the children of Israel will be turned to the Lord their God.
17And he will go before his face in the spirit and power of Elijah, turning the hearts of fathers to their children, and wrongdoers to the way of righteousness; to make ready a people whose hearts have been turned to the Lord.
