King James Version

69

And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;

70

As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:

71

That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;

72

To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;

73

The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,

74

That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,

75

In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.

76

And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;

77

To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,

78

Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,

79

To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.

This oath grants that we, being rescued from the hand of our enemies, may serve him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before him for as long as we live. And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High. For you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways, to give his people knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins. Because of our God’s tender mercy the dawn will break upon us from on high to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.” And the child kept growing and becoming strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day he was revealed to Israel.”

And 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; To give knowledge of salvation to his people, through the forgiveness of sins, Because of the loving mercies of our God, by which the dawn from heaven has come to us, To give light to those in dark places, and in the shade of death, so that our feet may be guided into the way of peace. And the child became tall, and strong in spirit; and he was living in the waste land till the day when he came before the eyes of Israel.”
