Luke 1:67-77

⁶⁷And his father, Zacharias, was full of the Holy Spirit, and with the voice of a prophet said these words:

⁶⁸Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has come to his people and made them free,

⁶⁹Lifting up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David,

⁷⁰(As he said, by the mouth of his holy prophets, from the earliest times,)

⁷¹Salvation from those who are against us, and from the hands of those who have hate for us;

⁷²To do acts of mercy to our fathers and to keep in mind his holy word,

⁷³The oath which he made to Abraham, our father,

⁷⁴That we, being made free from the fear of those who are against us, might give him worship,

⁷⁵In righteousness and holy living before him all our days.

⁷⁶And you, child, will be named the prophet of the Most High: you will go before the face of the Lord, to make ready his ways;

⁷⁷To give knowledge of salvation to his people, through the forgiveness of sins,
