From Luke 1…

67 Then his father, Zechariah, was filled with the Holy Spirit and gave this prophecy:

68 “Praise the Lord, the God of Israel,     because he has visited and redeemed his people. 69 He has sent us a mighty Savior[g]     from the royal line of his servant David, 70 just as he promised     through his holy prophets long ago. 71 Now we will be saved from our enemies     and from all who hate us. 72 He has been merciful to our ancestors     by remembering his sacred covenant— 73 the covenant he swore with an oath     to our ancestor Abraham. 74 We have been rescued from our enemies     so we can serve God without fear, 75 in holiness and righteousness     for as long as we live.

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,[h] 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.”
