Luke 1:67-80 - The Praise And Prophecy Of Zechariah
67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel;
68 for he hath visited and redeemed his people, 69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us, in the house of his servant David: 70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, who have been since the world began: That we should be saved from our enemies, 71 and from the hand of all that hate us; 72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant, 73 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham, 74 That he would grant us, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, 75 to serve him without fear, In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life. 76 And thou, child, shalt be a prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt 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 Thro' the tender mercy of our God, whereby the Day-spring from on high hath visited us, 79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to direct our feet into the way of peace.
80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts, till the day of his being shewn to Israel.
