¹³ But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and ^(A)you shall call his name John. ¹⁴ And you will have joy and gladness, and ^(B)many will rejoice at his birth. ¹⁵ For he will be ^(C)great in the sight of the Lord, and ^(D)shall drink neither wine nor strong drink. He will also be filled with the Holy Spirit, ^(E)even from his mother’s womb. ¹⁶ And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God. ^17 (F)He will also go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’ and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”

¹¹ Jesus answered and said to them, “Indeed, Elijah is coming ^[a]first and will ^(A)restore all things. ^12 (B)But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they ^(C)did not know him but did to him whatever they wished. Likewise ^(D)the Son of Man is also about to suffer at their hands.”
