13 but the angel said to Zacharias, don't be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer is heard: and your wife Elizabeth shall bear you a son, whom you shall name John: 14 he shall be your joy and transport, and numbers shall rejoice at his birth. 15 he shall appear as a divine messenger, he shall drink neither wine, nor any other strong liquor: he shall be filled with the holy spirit, even from his infancy: 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. Luke 1:13-17, Mace New Testament. Public domain.
