Luke 1:76-80 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to make ready His ways,

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷⁶ And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to make ready His ways, ⁷⁷ to give His people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins. ⁷⁸ Because the heart of our God is merciful. And so the day will dawn upon us from on high, ⁷⁹ to shine on those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace." ⁸⁰ Now the child continued to grow and to gain strength in the Spirit, and he lived in the desert until the day when he announced himself to Israel.
