Luke 1:17

The Prediction Of John The Baptist's Birth

¹⁶ And many of the sons of Israel will he turn to the Lord their God. ¹⁷ And he will go before his face in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of fathers to children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, to make ready for the Lord a prepared people. ¹⁸ And Zachariah said to the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife is far advanced in years.
