Luke 1:67-80 - The Praise And Prophecy Of Zechariah
67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying,
68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has visited and made redemption for his people 69 And has raised up a horn of saving health for us in the house of his servant David, 70 as he spoke by the mouth of the saints who from the beginning were his prophets; 71 salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all that hate us; 72 to fulfill mercy unto our fathers and remembering his holy covenant 73 of the oath which he made to our father Abraham, 74 that he would grant unto us, that without fear delivered out of the hand of our enemies, we might serve him 75 in holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our life. 76 And thou, child, shalt be called prophet of the Most High, for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways, 77 giving knowledge of saving health unto his people for the remission of their sins 78 through the bowels of mercy of our God, whereby the dayspring from on high has visited us 79 to give light to those that dwell in darkness and in the shadow of death, to direct our feet into the way of peace.
80 And the child grew and was comforted of the Spirit and was in the deserts until the day of his showing unto Israel.
