NETBible

He 1  will turn 2  many of the people 3  of Israel to the Lord their God.

NET Notes

1 tn Grk “And he.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

2 sn The word translated will turn is a good summary term for repentance and denotes John’s call to a change of direction (Luke 3:1-14).

3 tn Grk “sons”; but clearly this is a generic reference to people of both genders.
