Bible Verses About Gabriel

when there appeared to him an angel of ADONAI standing to the right of the incense altar.

Z'kharyah was startled and terrified at the sight.

But the angel said to him, "Don't be afraid, Z'kharyah; because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elisheva will bear you a son, and you are to name him Yochanan.

He will be a joy and a delight to you, and many people will rejoice when he is born,

for he will be great in the sight of ADONAI. He is never to drink wine or other liquor, and he will be filled with the Ruach HaKodesh even from his mother's womb.

He will turn many of the people of Isra'el to ADONAI their God.

He will go out ahead of ADONAI in the spirit and power of Eliyahu to turn the hearts of fathers to their childrena and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, to make ready for ADONAI a people prepared."

Z'kharyah said to the angel, "How can I be sure of this? For I am an old man; my wife too is well on in years."

"I am Gavri'el," the angel answered him, "and I stand in the presence of God. I was sent to speak to you, to give you this good news.

In the sixth month, the angel Gavri'el was sent by God to a city in the Galil called Natzeret,

to a virgin engaged to a man named Yosef, of the house of David; the virgin's name was Miryam.

Approaching her, the angel said, "Shalom, favored lady! ADONAI is with you!"

She was deeply troubled by his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.
