67Then his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:
68“Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
because He has visited and redeemed His people.
69He has raised up a horn of salvation for us
in the house of His servant David,
70as He spoke through His holy prophets,
those of ages past,
71salvation from our enemies
and from the hand of all who hate us,
72to show mercy to our fathers
and to remember His holy covenant,
73the oath He swore to our father Abraham,
to grant us
74deliverance from hostile hands,
that we may serve Him without fear,
75in holiness and righteousness before Him
all the days of our lives.
76And you, 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 to His people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,
78because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the Dawn will visit us from on high,
79to shine on those who live 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 the time of his public appearance to Israel.
— Luke 1:67-80
