Luke 1:17-19

Worldwide English (New Testament)

¹⁷ He will go ahead of the Lord. He will have the spirit and power of Elijah. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children. And he will bring back the people who do not obey, so that they will want to do what good people do. He will make people ready for the Lord.'

¹⁸ Then Zechariah said to the angel, `How can I know that this will happen? I am an old man and my wife is also old.'

¹⁹ The angel answered him, `I am Gabriel and I stand before God. I have been sent to talk to you and to bring you this good news.
