Luke 1:67-80 - The Praise And Prophecy Of Zechariah
67 And his father, Zachariah, was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying.
68 "Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, For he has visited and redeemed his people, 69 "And has raised up a mighty Deliverer for us In the house of his servant David, 70 "As he spake by the mouth of his holy Prophets Which have been since the world began 71 To deliver us from our enemies, and from the power Of all who hate us. 72 "He showed mercy to our forefathers, He remembered his holy covenant, 73 "The oath which he swore to Abraham, our forefather, 74 "That he we should be delivered out of the Hand of our enemies, And should serve him without fear, 75 "In holiness and righteousness before him All our days. 76 "And thou, child, shalt be called the Prophet of the Most High, For thou shalt go before the Lord to prepare the way 77 "To give to his people a knowledge of salvation Through the remission of their sins, 78 "Through the heart of mercy of our God, Whereby the Dayspring from on high shall visit us, 79 "To give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, And to guide our feet into the paths of peace."
80 And the child grew, and became strong in the Spirit, and remained in the desert till the day of his showing to Israel.
