11 And an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right of the Altar of Incense.
12 Zechariah was startled at the sight and was awe-struck.
13 But the angel said to him: " Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth shall bear you a son, whom you shall call by the name John.
14 He shall be to you a joy and a delight; and many shall rejoice over his birth.
15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord; he shall not drink any wine or strong drink, and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit from the very hour of his birth,
16 And shall reconcile many of the Israelites to the Lord their God.
17 He shall go before him in the spirit and with the power of Elijah, 'to reconcile fathers to their children' and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, and so make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him."
