Luke 1:74-80 ▼

74 having been rescued from the hand of our enemies, would serve him without fear

75 in holiness and righteousness in his presence all our days.

76 And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways,

77 to give his people knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins.

78 Because of our God’s merciful compassion, the dawn from on high will visit us

79 to shine on those who live in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

80 The child grew up and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
