Luke 1:76-80

76And you, child, will be called a prophet of Elyon. For you will go before Adonai to prepare His ways,

77to give knowledge of salvation to His people through removal of their sins.

78Through our God’s heart of mercy, the Sunrise from on high will come upon us,

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

80And the child kept growing and became strong in spirit; and he lived in the wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
