Luke 1:67-80

========================

67His father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:

68“Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has come to his people and redeemed them.

69He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David

70(as he said through his holy prophets of long ago),

71salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us—

72to show mercy to our ancestors and to remember his holy covenant,

73the oath he swore to our father Abraham:

74to rescue us from the hand of our enemies, and to enable us to serve him without fear

75in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.

76And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,

77to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins,

78because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven

79to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.”

80And the child grew and became strong in spirit; and he lived in the wilderness until he appeared publicly to Israel.
