“ Before I formed you in your mother’s body I chose you. Before you were born I set you apart to serve me. I appointed you to be a prophet to the nations.”

That is how it has been with John the Baptist. When he came to you, he didn’t eat bread or drink wine. And you say,‘ He has a demon.’

But God set me apart from before the time I was born. He showed me his grace by appointing me. He was pleased

The Lord said to Joshua,“ Today I will begin to honor you in the eyes of all the Israelites. Then they will know that I am with you, just as I was with Moses.

All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit. They began to speak in languages they had not known before. The Spirit gave them the ability to do this.

That day the Lord honored Joshua in the eyes of all the Israelites. They had respect for Joshua as long as he lived. They respected him just as much as they had respected Moses.

I have been with you everywhere you have gone. I destroyed all your enemies when you were attacking them. Now I will make you famous. Your name will be just as respected as the names of the most important people on earth.

I tell you, no one more important than John has ever been born. But the least important person in God’s kingdom is more important than John is.”

“ Say to the Israelites,‘ Suppose a man or woman wants to make a special promise. They want to set themselves apart to the Lord for a certain period of time. They want to be Nazirites.Then they must not drink any kind of wine. They must not drink vinegar made out of wine of any kind. They must not drink grape juice. They must not eat grapes or raisins.As long as they are Nazirites, they must not eat anything grapevines produce. They must not even eat the seeds or skins of grapes.

But you brought me out of my mother’s body. You made me trust in you even when I was at my mother’s breast.

But his father wouldn’t do it. He said,“ I know, my son. I know. He too will become a nation. He too will become great. But his younger brother will be greater than he is. His children after him will become a group of nations.”

Make sure you do not drink any kind of wine. Also make sure you do not eat anything that is‘ unclean.’You will become pregnant. You will have a son. The hair on his head must never be cut. That is because the boy will be a Nazirite. He will be set apart to God from the day he is born. He will take the lead in saving Israel from the power of the Philistines.”Then the woman went to her husband. She told him,“ A man of God came to me. He looked like an angel of God. His appearance was so amazing that it filled me with great wonder. I didn’t ask him where he came from. And he didn’t tell me his name.

The Lord who rules over all will be like a shield to his people. They will destroy their enemies. They’ll use slings to throw stones at them. They’ll drink the blood of their enemies as if it were wine. They’ll be full like the bowl that is used for sprinkling the corners of the altar.

“ I will make you into a great nation. And I will bless you. I will make your name great. You will be a blessing to others.

Wealth and honor come from you. You are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power. You can give honor and strength to everyone.

John was like a lamp that burned and gave light. For a while you chose to enjoy his light.

Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.He is the one written about in Scripture. It says,“‘ I will send my messenger ahead of you. He will prepare your way for you.’( Malachi 3:1)What I’m about to tell you is true. No one more important than John the Baptist has ever been born. But the least important person in the kingdom of heaven is more important than he is.Since the days of John the Baptist, the kingdom of heaven has been under attack. And violent people are taking hold of it.All the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John came.If you are willing to accept it, John is the Elijah who was supposed to come.Whoever has ears should listen.“ What can I compare today’s people to? They are like children sitting in the markets and calling out to others. They say,“‘ We played the flute for you. But you didn’t dance. We sang a funeral song. But you didn’t become sad.’When John came, he didn’t eat or drink as you do. And people say,‘ He has a demon.’But when the Son of Man came, he ate and drank as you do. And people say,‘ This fellow is always eating and drinking far too much. He’s a friend of tax collectors and“ sinners.” ’ By wise actions wisdom is shown to be right.”

Then Peter stood up with the 11 apostles. In a loud voice he spoke to the crowd.“ My fellow Jews,” he said,“ let me explain this to you. All of you who live in Jerusalem, listen carefully to what I say.You think these people are drunk. But they aren’t. It’s only nine o’clock in the morning!No, here is what the prophet Joel meant.He said,“‘ In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Holy Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will have dreams.In those days, I will pour out my Spirit on my servants. I will pour out my Spirit on both men and women. When I do, they will prophesy.
