“… the Angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right of the altar of incense. … the Angel said … ‘Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall name him John. … you will have joy and gladness … many will rejoice at his birth … he will be great in the Sight of the Lord. He will drink neither wine nor strong drink. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb, and he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God. … to prepare a people fit for the Lord.'”
