76 And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; |
77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, |
78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, |
79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. |
80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel. |
