Luke 1:67-80

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁶⁷ ¶ And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying,

⁶⁸ Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has visited and made redemption for his people

⁶⁹ And has raised up a horn of saving health for us in the house of his servant David,

⁷⁰ as he spoke by the mouth of the saints who from the beginning were his prophets;

⁷¹ salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all that hate us;

⁷² to fulfill mercy unto our fathers and remembering his holy covenant

⁷³ of the oath which he made to our father Abraham,

⁷⁴ that he would grant unto us, that without fear delivered out of the hand of our enemies, we might serve him

⁷⁵ in holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our life.

⁷⁶ And thou, child, shalt be called prophet of the Most High, for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways,

⁷⁷ giving knowledge of saving health unto his people for the remission of their sins

⁷⁸ through the bowels of mercy of our God, whereby the dayspring from on high has visited us

⁷⁹ to give light to those that dwell in darkness and in the shadow of death, to direct our feet into the way of peace.

⁸⁰ And the child grew and was comforted of the Spirit and was in the deserts until the day of his showing unto Israel.
