Luke 1:67-80 NKJV
[67] Now his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying:
[68] “Blessed is 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, Who have been since the world began,
[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 HIGHEST;
For YOU WILL GO before the face of the Lord TO PREPARE HIS WAYS, [77] To GIVE KNOWLEDGE of SALVATION to HIS PEOPLE By the REMISSION OF THEIR SINS,
[78] Through THE TENDER MERCY OF our GOD, With which THE DAYSPRING from ON HIGH has VISITED US;
[79] TO GIVE LIGHT to those WHO SIT IN DARKNESS and the SHADOW OF DEATH,
TO GUIDE OUR FEET into THE WAY OF PEACE.”
[80] So the CHILD GREW and became STRONG IN SPIRIT, and WAS IN THE DESERTS TILL the DAY of his MANIFESTATION to Israel.
