Luke 1:11-19

11And an angelG32 of [the] LordG2962 appeared to him, standingG2476 on the rightG1188 of the altarG2379 of incenseG2368.

12And Zacharias was troubledG5015, seeingG3708 [him], and fearG5401 fell upon him.

13But the angelG32 saidG3004 to him, FearG5399 not, Zacharias, because thy supplicationG1162 has been heard, and thy wifeG1135 ElizabethG1665 shall bearG1080 thee a sonG5207, and thou shalt callG2564 his nameG3686 JohnG2491.

14And he shall beG1510 to thee joyG5479 and rejoicingG5463, and manyG4183 shall rejoiceG5463 at his birth.

15For he shall beG1510 greatG3173 before [the] LordG2962, and he shall drinkG4095 no wineG3631 nor strong drinkG4095; and he shall beG1510 filledG4130 with [the] HolyG40 SpiritG4151, evenG2532 from his mother's wombG2836.

16And manyG4183 of the sonsG5207 of IsraelG2474 shall he turnG1994 to [the] LordG2962 their 1GodG2316.

17And he shall goG4281 before him in [the] spiritG4151 and powerG1411 of Elias, to turnG1994 heartsG2588 of fathersG3962 to childrenG5043, and disobedientG545 ones to [the] thoughts of justG1342 [menG1342], to makeG2090 readyG2090 for [the] LordG2962 a preparedG2090 peopleG2992.

18And Zacharias saidG3004 to the angelG32, How shall I knowG1097 this, for I amG1510 an old manG3778, and my wifeG1135 advanced in years?

19And the angelG32 answeringG611, saidG3004 to him, I amG1510 GabrielG1043, who standG3936 before 2GodG2316, and I have beenG1510 sentG649 to speakG2980 to thee, and to bringG2097 these glad tidings to thee;
