Luke 1:67-80 - The Praise And Prophecy Of Zechariah
67 And his father Zacharias was filled of Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
68 Blessed is Lord, the God of Israel, because he came to help, and made ransom for his people. 69 And he raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his boy David, 70 just as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old, 71 salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us, 72 to do mercy with our fathers, and his holy covenant to be remembered, 73 the oath that he swore to Abraham our father, to give to us, 74 without fear from the hand of our enemies, having been saved to serve him 75 in piety and righteousness before him all our the days of our life. 76 And thou, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High. For thou will go ahead, before the face of Lord, to prepare his ways, 77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the remission of their sins, 78 because of the bowels of mercy of our God, by which the dayspring from on high came to help us, 79 to give light to those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into a way of peace.
80 And the child grew, and became strong in spirit. And he was in the desolate regions until the day of his manifestation to Israel.
