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 Elias, to turn hearts of fathers to children, and disobedient ones to the thoughts of just men, to make ready for the Lord a prepared people. ¹⁸ And Zacharias said to the angel, How shall I know this, for I am an old man, and my wife advanced in years?
