Luke 1:17

The Prediction Of John The Baptist's Birth

¹⁶ And he will turn many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God. ¹⁷ And he will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, 'to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,' and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord." ¹⁸ And Zechariah said to the angel, "How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years."
