Luke 1:76-80

76And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways,

77to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the forgiveness of their sins,

78because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high

79to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace."

80And the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
