Luke 1:17-19

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

¹⁷ And he will go-ahead before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah to turn-back^[a] the hearts of fathers to their children, and to turn back disobedient ones with^[b] the understanding^[c] of righteous ones, to prepare a people having been made-ready for the Lord”. ¹⁸ And Zechariah said to the angel, “Based-on what shall I know this? For I am an old-man, and my wife is advanced in her days”. ¹⁹ And having responded, the angel said to him, “I am Gabriel, the one standing in the presence of God. And I was sent forth to speak to you, and to announce these things as-good-news to you.
