13 But the angel (messenger) said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah (YHWH remembers), because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth (my God is an oath) will bear you a son, and you are to give him the name John (YHWH is gracious).

14 He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice at his birth,

15 for he will be great in the sight of the Lord {Kyriou}. He shall never take wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit {Hagiou Pneumatos} even from his mother’s womb.

16 Many of the sons of Israel (He wrestles with God) he will turn back to the Lord {Kyrion} their God {Theon}.

17 And he will go on before the Lord in the spirit {pneumati} and power {dynamei} of Elijah (my God is YHWH), to turn the hearts of the fathers {paterōn} to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord {Kyriō}.
