¹⁰ As for you, My servant Jacob,^(A)
do not be afraid—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
and do not be dismayed, Israel,
for without fail I will save you from far away,
your descendants, from the land of their captivity!
Jacob will return and have calm and quiet
with no one to frighten him.^(B)

Do not be afraid,^(A) Zechariah,
because your prayer has been heard.
Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son,
and you will name him John.^(B)

Do not be afraid, Mary,^(A)
for you have found favor with God.
