13 For all, the Prophets and the Law, prophesied until John;+ 14 and if you are willing to accept it, he is ‘E·liʹjah who is to come.’+

13 However, the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zech·a·riʹah, because your supplication has been favorably heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to name him John.+

17 Also, he will go ahead of him with E·liʹjah’s spirit and power,+ to turn back the hearts of fathers to children+ and the disobedient ones to the practical wisdom of righteous ones, in order to get ready for Jehovah* a prepared people.”+
