katapi HOME Luke 1:67-80 - The Prophesy of Zechariah  Lk.1.67-80 (Hebron)

1 67 And Zechariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit and uttered this prophecy:

1 68 [ Ps.41.13. ] 'Praise to the God of Israel!
For he has turned to his people,
saved them and set them free,
1 69 and has raised up a deliverer of victorious power
from the house of his servant David. 1 70 So he promised: age after age he proclaimed
by the lips of his holy prophets,
1 71 that he would deliver us from our enemies,
out of the hands of all who hate us;
1 72 that he would deal mercifully with our fathers,
calling to mind his solemn covenant. 1 73 Such was the oath he swore to our father Abraham,
1 74 to rescue us from enemy hands,
and grant us, free from fear,
to worship him 1 75 with a holy worship,
with uprightness of heart,
in his presence, our whole life long. 1 76 [ Mal.3.1. ] And you, my child, you shall be called Prophet of the Highest,
for you will be the Lord's forerunner, to prepare his way
1 77 and lead his people to salvation through knowledge of him,
by the forgiveness of their sins:
1 78 for in the tender compassion of our God
the morning sun from heaven will rise Some witnesses read: has risen. upon us,
1 79 [ Is.9.2, Is.59.8. ] to shine on those who live in darkness, under the cloud of death,
and to guide our feet into the way of peace.'

1 80 As the child grew up he became strong in spirit; he lived out in the wilds until the day when he appeared publicly before Israel.
