Luke 1:13-22

13But the angelG32 saidG3004 unto him, FearG5399 not, Zacharias: because thy supplicationG1162 is heard, and thy wifeG1135 Elisabeth shall bearG1080 thee a sonG5207, and thou shalt callG2564 his nameG3686 JohnG2491. 14And thou shalt have joyG5479 and gladnessG20; and manyG4183 shall rejoiceG5463 at his birth. 15For he shall beG1510 greatG3173 in the sight of the LordG2962, and he shall drinkG4095 no wineG3631 nor strong drinkG4095; and he shall beG1510 filledG4130 with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, evenG2532 from his mother’sG3384 wombG2836. 16And manyG4183 of the children of IsraelG2474 shall he turnG1994 unto the LordG2962 their GodG2316. 17And he shall goG4281 before his face in the spiritG4151 and powerG1411 of ElijahG2243, to turnG1994 the heartsG2588 of the fathersG3962 to the childrenG5043, and the disobedientG545 to walk in the wisdom of the justG1342; to makeG2090 readyG2090 for the LordG2962 a peopleG2992 preparedG2090 for him. 18And Zacharias saidG3004 unto the angelG32, Whereby shall I knowG1097 this? for I amG1510 an old manG3778, and my wifeG1135 well stricken in years. 19And the angelG32 answeringG611 saidG3004 unto him, I amG1510 GabrielG1043, that standG3936 in the presenceG1799 of GodG2316; and I wasG1510 sentG649 to speakG2980 unto thee, and to bringG2097 thee these good tidings. 20And beholdG2400, thou shalt beG1510 silentG4623 and not ableG1410 to speakG2980, until the dayG2250 that these thingsG3778 shall comeG1096 to passG1096, because thou believedst not my wordsG3056, which shall beG1510 fulfilled in their seasonG2540. 21And the peopleG2992 wereG1510 waiting for Zacharias, and they marvelled while he tarried in the templeG3485. 22And when he cameG1831 out, he could not speakG2980 unto them: and they perceived that he had seenG3708 a visionG3701 in the templeG3485: and he continued making signs unto them, and remained dumb.
