Luke 1:8-17

8And it cameG1096 to passG1096, as he fulfilled his priestly service before 1GodG2316 in the orderG5010 of his course,

9it fell to him by lot, accordingG2596 to the customG1485 of the priesthood, to enterG1525 into the templeG3485 of the LordG2962 to burn incense.

10And all the multitudeG4128 of the peopleG2992 wereG1510 prayingG4336 without at the hourG5610 of incenseG2368.

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 2GodG2316.

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.
