Luke 1:67-77

⁶⁷At that time, when Zechariah started talking again, the Holy Spirit came into him, and he told everyone a message from God. He said,

⁶⁸“The God of us Israel mob, he is a great God. He has come now to save us, his people.

⁶⁹He has sent us a very strong person to save us. You know about David, the boss that worked for God a long time ago, well this person is in David’s family.

⁷⁰God promised this to us a long time ago, and he got his men to tell us this message.

⁷¹God promised to save us from our enemies, and from everyone that hates us.

⁷²He promised to be good to our grand-fathers of long ago, and he will remember to do everything that he promised.

⁷³Yes, God will remember the things promised to Abraham, our grand-father of long ago.

⁷⁴He promised to save us from our enemies, so we can work for him without being frightened.

⁷⁵We can live God’s way and work for him in the right way, and we can do it all our lives.”

⁷⁶Then Zechariah talked to his baby boy, he said, “This word is for you, my son. Everyone will know that you tell people messages from God. You will go ahead of the one that God is sending to be our leader, and you will get everything ready for him.

⁷⁷You will teach his people how God can say they are not guilty for the bad things they did, and then God will save them.
