Luke 1:76-79

New Living Translation

⁷⁶ “And you, my little son,
    will be called the prophet of the Most High,
    because you will prepare the way for the Lord.
⁷⁷ You will tell his people how to find salvation
    through forgiveness of their sins.
⁷⁸ Because of God’s tender mercy,
    the morning light from heaven is about to break upon us,^[a]
79 to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
    and to guide us to the path of peace.”
