for zyou will go before the Lord to prepare his ways,
77to give knowledge of salvation to his people
ain the forgiveness of their sins,
78because of the btender mercy of our God,
whereby cthe sunrise shall dvisit us8 efrom on high
79to fgive light to gthose who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into hthe way of ipeace.”
80jAnd the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was kin the wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
