76
And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways,
77
to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the forgiveness of their sins.
78
By the tender mercy of our God, the dawn from on high will break upon a us,
79
to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace."
