Luke 1:71-80 ▼

71 deliverance from our enemies and out of the hand of all who hate us;

72 to fulfil mercy with our fathers and remember his holy covenant,

73 [the] oath which he swore to Abraham our father,

74 to give us, that, saved out of the hand of our enemies, we should serve him without fear

75 in piety and righteousness before him all our days.

76 And thou, child, shalt be called [the] prophet of [the] Highest; for thou shalt go before the face of [the] Lord to make ready his ways;

77 to give knowledge of deliverance to his people by [the] remission of their sins

78 on account of [the] bowels of mercy of our God; wherein [the] dayspring from on high has visited us,

79 to shine upon them who were sitting in darkness and in [the] shadow of death, to guide our feet into [the] way of peace.

80 -- And the child grew and was strengthened in spirit; and he was in the deserts until the day of his shewing to Israel.
