| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Jesse Tree on the Catholic Sprouts podcast. |
| 0:04.0 | Today is the fourth Sunday of Advent. |
| 0:07.8 | Jesus' public ministry began when he headed down to the Jordan River and allowed his cousin, John the Baptist, to baptize him. |
| 0:18.2 | We read in scripture that when Jesus had been baptized, just as he came up from the water, |
| 0:26.3 | suddenly the heavens were open to him and he saw the spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting |
| 0:34.4 | on him. And a voice from heaven said, this is my beloved son with whom I am well pleased. |
| 0:44.9 | Like all those before him in the Jesse Tree, St. John the Baptist played an important role in preparing the world to receive the Messiah. In fact, |
| 0:57.6 | he is so important that his birth is told in detail in Luke's gospel. Listen now to the story |
| 1:06.6 | of St. John the Baptist's birth and the important important role that not only he, but also his parents, |
| 1:14.4 | Zachariah and Elizabeth, played. This story is found in the Gospel of Luke. |
| 1:22.5 | Luke, Chapter 1, 11 through 25. Then there appeared to Zachariah, an angel of the Lord, standing at the right side of the altar of incense. |

| 1:40.3 | Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will name him John. You will have joy and |
| 1:45.7 | gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth, for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He must |
| 1:51.3 | never drink wine or strong drink. Even before his birth, he will be filled with the Holy Spirit. |
| 1:56.5 | He will turn many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God. With the spirit and power of Elijah, he will go before him, to turn the hearts of parents |
| 2:04.8 | to their children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, to make ready |
| 2:09.7 | a people prepared for the Lord. |
| 2:12.1 | Zachariah said to the angel, How will I know this is so? |
| 2:15.7 | For I am an old man, and my wife is getting on in years. |
| 2:19.4 | The angel replied, I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you |
