Luke 1:76-80
New International Version
76 And you, my child, will be called a prophet(A) of the Most High;(B)
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,(C)
77 to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,(D)
78 because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun(E) will come to us from heaven
79 to shine on those living in darkness
and in the shadow of death,(F)
to guide our feet into the path of peace.”(G)
80 And the child grew and became strong in spirit[a];(H) and he lived in the wilderness until he appeared publicly to Israel.
