Luke 1:17-19

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁷ John himself will go ahead of the Lord and make people ready for his coming. He will be powerful like Elijah and will have the same spirit. He will make peace between fathers and their children. He will cause people who are not obeying God to change and start thinking the way they should.”

¹⁸ Zechariah said to the angel, “How can I know that what you say is true? I am an old man, and my wife is also old.”

¹⁹ The angel answered him, “I am Gabriel, the one who always stands ready before God. He sent me to talk to you and to tell you this good news.
