riversident@Luke:1:67 @ Zacharias, his father, was filled with the Holy Spirit and said prophetically:

riversident@Luke:1:68 @ "Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel! For he has looked upon his people, and made deliverance for them.

riversident@Luke:1:69 @ He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of David his servant,

riversident@Luke:1:70 @ As he spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets of old,

riversident@Luke:1:71 @ Salvation from our enemies and from the hands of all those that hate us,

riversident@Luke:1:72 @ Dealing kindly with our forefathers, mindful of his holy covenant,

riversident@Luke:1:73 @ The oath which he swore to Abraham our father,

riversident@Luke:1:74 @ To grant that we, saved from the hands of our enemies, may serve him Without fear

riversident@Luke:1:75 @ in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.

riversident@Luke:1:76 @ And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High. You will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways,

riversident@Luke:1:77 @ To give the knowledge of salvation to his people by the forgiveness of their sins,

riversident@Luke:1:78 @ Through the tender compassion of our God, With which the sunrise from on high will shine upon us;

riversident@Luke:1:79 @ To give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, To guide our feet into the path of peace."

riversident@Luke:1:80 @ The child grew and became strong in spirit, and he lived in the wilds until the day of his appearance before Israel.
