Zechariah's Prophecy
67 And his father Zechariah (A)was filled with the Holy Spirit and (B)prophesied, saying,
68 (C)“Blessed be the Lord (D)God of Israel,
for he has (E)visited and (F)redeemed his people
69 and (G)has raised up (H)a horn of salvation for us
(I)in the house of his servant David,
70 (J)as (K)he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old,
71 (L)that we should be saved from our enemies
and from the hand of all who hate us;
72 (M)to show the mercy promised to our fathers
and (N)to remember his holy (O)covenant,
73 (P)the oath that he swore to our father Abraham, to grant us
74 that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies,
might serve him (Q)without fear,
75 (R)in holiness and righteousness before him (S)all our days.
76 And you, child, will be called (T)the prophet of (U)the Most High;
for (V)you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways,
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people
(W)in the forgiveness of their sins,
78 because of the (X)tender mercy of our God,
whereby (Y)the sunrise shall (Z)visit us[a] (AA)from on high
79 to (AB)give light to (AC)those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into (AD)the way of (AE)peace.”
80 (AF)And the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was (AG)in the wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel.

Zechariah’s Song
67 His father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit(A) and prophesied:(B)
68 “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel,(C)
because he has come to his people and redeemed them.(D)
69 He has raised up a horn[a](E) of salvation for us
in the house of his servant David(F)
70 (as he said through his holy prophets of long ago),(G)
71 salvation from our enemies
and from the hand of all who hate us—
72 to show mercy to our ancestors(H)
and to remember his holy covenant,(I)
73 the oath he swore to our father Abraham:(J)
74 to rescue us from the hand of our enemies,
and to enable us to serve him(K) without fear(L)
75 in holiness and righteousness(M) before him all our days.
76 And you, my child, will be called a prophet(N) of the Most High;(O)
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,(P)
77 to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,(Q)
78 because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun(R) will come to us from heaven
79 to shine on those living in darkness
and in the shadow of death,(S)
to guide our feet into the path of peace.”(T)
80 And the child grew and became strong in spirit[b];(U) and he lived in the wilderness until he appeared publicly to Israel.
