Luke 1:76-80 ▼

76 And you, child, will be called the 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 tender mercy the dawn will break upon us from on high

79 to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.|

80 And the child kept growing and becoming strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day he was revealed to Israel.
