Luke 1:11-15

11And 1an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing to the right of the altar of incense.

12Zacharias was troubled when he saw the angel, and 2fear 3gripped him.

13But the angel said to him, “4Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your petition has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and 5you will 6give him the name John.

14You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth.

15For he will be great in the sight of the Lord; and he will 7drink no wine or liquor, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit 8while yet in his mother’s womb.
