11And 1an angelG32 of the LordG2962 appearedG3708 to him, standingG2476 to the rightG1188 of the altarG2379 of incenseG2368. 12ZachariasG2197 was troubledG5015 when he sawG3708 the angel, and 2fearG5401 3grippedG1968 him. 13But the angelG32 saidG3004 to him, “4Do not be afraidG5399, ZachariasG2197, for your petitionG1162 has been heardG1522, and your wifeG1135 ElizabethG1665 will bearG1080 you a sonG5207, and 5you will 6giveG2564 him the nameG3686 JohnG2491. 14You will have joyG5479 and gladnessG20, and manyG4183 will rejoiceG5463 at his birthG1078. 15For he will be greatG3173 in the sightG1799 of the LordG2962; and he will 7drinkG4095 noG3756G3361 wineG3631 orG2532 liquorG4608, and he will be filledG4092 with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 8while yetG2089 in his mother’sG3384 wombG2836. 16And he will 9turnG1994 manyG4183 of the sonsG5207 of IsraelG2474 backG1994 to the LordG2962 their GodG2316. 17It is he who will 10goG4281 as a forerunner beforeG1799 Him in the spiritG4151 and powerG1411 of 11ElijahG2243, 12to turnG1994 the heartsG2588 of the fathersG3962 backG1994 to the childrenG5043, and the disobedientG545 to the attitudeG5428 of the righteousG1342, so as to 13makeG2090 readyG2090 a peopleG2992 preparedG2680 for the LordG2962.”
18ZachariasG2197 saidG3004 to the angelG32, “HowG2596G5101 will I knowG1097 thisG3778 for certain? For 14I amG1510 an oldG4246 manG4246 and my wifeG1135 is advancedG4260 in 15yearsG2250.” 19The angelG32 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to him, “I amG1510 16GabrielG1043, who 1718standsG3936 in the presenceG1799 of GodG2316, and I have been sentG649 to speakG2980 to you and to bringG2097 you thisG3778 goodG2097 newsG2097.
