Luke 1:17

The Prediction Of John The Baptist's Birth

¹⁶ And many of the sons of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. ¹⁷ And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient, by the wisdom of the just, in order to make ready for the Lord a prepared people. ¹⁸ And Zachariah said to the angel: By what sign shall I know this? for I am old, and my wife is advanced in years.
