Luke 1:11-20
11) An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
12) Zacharias was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell on him.
13) But the angel said to him, "Don‘t be afraid, Zacharias, because your request has been heard, and your wife, Elizabeth, will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.
14) You will have joy and gladness; and many will rejoice at his birth.
15) For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he will drink no wine nor strong drink. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother‘s womb.
16) He will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord, their God.
17) He will go before his face 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."
18) Zacharias said to the angel, "How can I be sure of this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years."
19) The angel answered him, "I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God. I was sent to speak to you, and to bring you this good news.
20) Behold, you will be silent and not able to speak, until the day that these things will happen, because you didn‘t believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time."
Isaiah 40:3
3) The voice of one who cries, Prepare you in the wilderness the way of Yahweh; make level in the desert a highway for our God.
Luke 1:26-38
26) Now in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27) to a virgin pledged to be married to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin‘s name was Mary.
28) Having come in to her, the angel said, "Rejoice, you highly favored one! The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women!"
29) But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of salutation this might be.
30) The angel said to her, "Don‘t be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
31) Behold, you will conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and will call his name JESUS.
32) He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give to him the throne of his father, David,
33) and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. There will be no end of his kingdom."
34) Mary said to the angel, "How will this be, seeing I am a virgin?"
35) The angel answered her, "The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore also the holy one which is born from you will be called the Son of God.
36) Behold, Elizabeth, your relative, also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
37) For no word from God will be void of power."
38) Mary said, "Behold, the handmaid of the Lord; be it to me according to your word." The angel departed from her.

8) Being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross.

21) She shall bring forth a son. You shall call his name JESUS, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins."
