Kepha ingelosi yathi kuye: “Ungesabi, Zakhariya, ngokuba isicelo sakho sizwakele; umkakho u-Elizabethe uzakukuzalela indodana, uyiqambe igama uthi nguJohane. Uzakujabula uthokoze ngaye; nabaningi bazakujabula ngokuzalwa kwakhe. Ngokuba uzakuba mkhulu emehlweni eNkosi; akayukuliphuza iwayini nophuzo olunamandla; uzakugcwaliswa nguMoya oNgcwele esesesiswini sikanina. Uyakuphendulela abaningi kubantu bakwa-Israyeli, eNkosini uNkulunkulu wabo. Uyakuhamba phambi kwayo enomoya namandla ka-Eliya ukuphendula izinhliziyo zawoyise, babuyisane nabantwana, abangalaleliyo babe nokuqonda kwabalungileyo, ukulungisela iNkosi isizwe esikulungiselweyo ukufika kwayo.” UZakhariya wathi engelosini: “Ngiyakukwazi ngani lokhu na? Sengiyindoda endala, nomkami usekhule kakhulu.” Ingelosi yaphendula, yathi kuye: “NginguGabhriyeli mina, omi phambi kukaNkulunkulu; ngithunyiwe ukuba ngikhulume nawe, nokuba ngikubikele lezi zindaba ezinhle. Wena-ke uzakuba yisimungulu, ungakwazi ukukhuluma kuze kube wusuku okwenzeka ngalo lokhu, ngokuba awuwakholwanga amazwi ami azakugcwaliseka ngesikhathi sawo.”
