Luke:1:11-20
isv@Luke:1:11 @ An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the incense altar.
isv@Luke:1:12 @ When Zechariah saw him, he was shaken, and fear overwhelmed him.
isv@Luke:1:13 @ But the angel said to him, “Stop being afraid, Zechariah, because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to name him John.
isv@Luke:1:14 @ You will have joy and gladness, and many people will rejoice at his birth.
isv@Luke:1:15 @ For he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He will never drink wine or any strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even before he is born.
isv@Luke:1:16 @ He will bring many of Israel's descendants back to the Lord their God.
isv@Luke:1:17 @ He is the one who will go before the Lord with the spirit and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of parents to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, and to prepare the people to be ready for the Lord.”
isv@Luke:1:18 @ Then Zechariah said to the angel, “How can I know this is so? For I am an old man, and my wife is getting on in years.”
isv@Luke:1:19 @ The angel answered him, “I am Gabriel! I stand in the very presence of God. I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news.
isv@Luke:1:20 @ But because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled at the proper time, you will become silent and unable to speak until the day this happens.”
