Luke 1:17

The Prediction Of John The Baptist's Birth

¹⁶ he shall convert many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God. ¹⁷ and he shall march before him, in the spirit and power of Elias, to reconcile parents and children together, and the unruly to the practice of justice, that the people may be duly dispos'd to receive the Lord. ¹⁸ But Zacharias said to the angel, by what sign shall I know this? for I am old, and my wife is of a great age.
