Luke 1:62-72

63 He asked for a writing tablet and wrote, "His name is John." And all of them were amazed.
64 Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue freed, and he began to speak, praising God.

66 All who heard them pondered them and said, "What then will this child become?" For, indeed, the hand of the Lord was with him.

69 He has raised up a mighty savior [a] for us in the house of his servant David,
70 as he spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets from of old,
71 that we would be saved from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us.
72 Thus he has shown the mercy promised to our ancestors, and has remembered his holy covenant,
