Luke 1:13-15

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹³ But the angel said to him, Do not be afraid, Zachariah, because your petition ^[a]was heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you must call his name John [God is favorable].

¹⁴ And you shall have joy and exultant delight, and many will rejoice over his birth,

¹⁵ For he will be great and distinguished in the sight of the Lord. And he must drink no wine nor strong drink, and he will be filled with and controlled by the Holy Spirit even ^[b]in and from his mother’s womb.^(A)
