Birth of John the Baptist Foretold - Luke 1: 5-25
An excerpt...
"Then
an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the
altar of incense. When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and was
gripped with fear. But the angel said to him: 'Do not be afraid,
Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you
a son, and you are to give him the name John. He will be a joy and
delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth, for he will
be great in the sight of the Lord. He is never to take wine or other
fermented drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from
birth. Many of the people of Israel will he bring back to the Lord their
God. And he will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power of
Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the
disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous -- to make ready a people
prepared for the Lord'."
Luke 1: 11-17
