Compare all
12 And when Zacharias saw him, ahe was troubled, and fear fell upon him.  
13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and ayou shall call his name John.  
14 And you will have joy and gladness, and amany will rejoice at his birth.  
15 For he will be agreat in the sight of the Lord, and bshall drink neither wine nor strong drink. He will also be filled with the Holy Spirit, ceven from his mother’s womb.  
16 And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.
17 aHe will also go before Him 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 And Zacharias said to the angel, a“How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years.”

Luke 1:14

Many shall rejoice at his birth - This does not refer so much to the time of his birth as to the subsequent rejoicing. Such will be his "character," that he will be an honor to the family, and many will rejoice that he lived: or, in other words, he will be a blessing to mankind.
