Luke 1:10-19

¹⁰And all the multitude of the people was withoutforth, and prayed in the hour of incensing.

¹¹And an angel of the Lord appeared to him, and stood on the right half of the altar of incense.

¹²And Zechariah seeing was afraid or distroubled, and dread fell upon him.

¹³And the angel said to him, Zechariah, dread thou not; for thy prayer is heard, and Elisabeth, thy wife, shall bear to thee a son, and his name shall be called John.

¹⁴And joy and gladding shall be to thee; and many shall have joy in his nativity, or birth.

¹⁵For he shall be great before the Lord, and he shall not drink wine nor cider, and he shall be full-filled or filled with the Holy Ghost, yet from his mother’s womb.

¹⁶And he shall convert many of the children of Israel to their Lord God;

¹⁷and he shall go before him in the spirit and virtue of Elijah; and he shall turn the hearts of the fathers into the sons, and men out of belief, or that believe not, to the prudence of just men, to make ready a perfect people to the Lord.

¹⁸And Zechariah said to the angel, Whereof shall I know this? for I am old, and my wife hath gone far in her days.

¹⁹And the angel answered, and said to him, For I am Gabriel, that stand nigh before God; and I am sent to thee to speak, and to evangelize or to tell to thee these things.
