*
And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God .
*
He will also go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah , "
to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children ,'
and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just ,
to make ready a people prepared for the Lord ."
*
And Zacharias said to the angel , "
How shall I know this ?
For I am an old man ,
and my wife is well advanced in years ."
*
And the angel answered and said to him , "
I am Gabriel ,
who stands in the presence of God ,
and was sent to speak to you and bring you these glad tidings .
*
But behold ,
you will be mute and not able to speak until the day these things take place ,
because you did not believe my words which will be fulfilled in their own time ."
*
And the people waited for Zacharias ,
and marveled that he lingered so long in the temple .
*
But when he came out ,
he could not speak to them ;
and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple ,
for he beckoned to them and remained speechless .
*
So it was ,
as soon as the days of his service were completed ,
that he departed to his own house .
*
Now after those days his wife Elizabeth conceived ;
and she hid herself five months ,
saying ,
* "
Thus the Lord has dealt with me ,
in the days when He looked on me ,
to take away my reproach among people ."
