Luke 1: 67 - 79
|
| 67 | And his father Zechari'ah was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying, |
| 68 | "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people, |
| 69 | and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David, |
| 70 | as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old, |
| 71 | that we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us; |
| 72 | to perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant, |
| 73 | the oath which he swore to our father Abraham, |
| 74 | to grant us that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve him without fear, |
| 75 | in holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our life. |
| 76 | And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways, |
| 77 | to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the forgiveness of their sins, |
| 78 | through the tender mercy of our God, when the day shall dawn upon us from on high |
| 79 | to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace." |
