* But the angel said (5627 ) unto him , Fear (5737 ) not , Zacharias : for thy prayer is heard (5681 ); and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear (5692 ) thee a son , and thou shalt call (5692 ) his name John . * And thou shalt have (5704 ) joy and gladness ; and many shall rejoice (5690 ) at his birth . * For he shall be (5704 ) great in the sight of the Lord , and shall drink (5632 ) neither wine nor strong drink ; and he shall be filled (5701 ) with the Holy Ghost , even from his mothers womb . * And many of the children of Israel shall he turn (5692 ) to the Lord their God . * And he shall go (5695 ) before him in the spirit and power of Elias , to turn (5658 ) the hearts of the fathers to the children , and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just ; to make ready (5658 ) a people prepared (5772 ) for the Lord . * And Zacharias said (5627 ) unto the angel , Whereby shall I know (5695 ) this ? for I am (5748 ) an old man , and my wife well stricken (5761 ) in years . * And the angel answering (5679 ) said (5627 ) unto him , I am (5748 ) Gabriel , that stand (5761 ) in the presence of God ; and am sent (5648 ) to speak (5658 ) unto thee , and to shew thee these glad tidings (5670 ). * And , behold (5628 ), thou (5704 ) shalt be dumb (5723 ), and not able (5740 ) to speak (5658 ), until the day that these things shall be performed (5638 ), because thou believest (5656 ) not my words , which shall be fulfilled (5701 ) in their season .
