⁷⁶ “And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High;
For you will go on before the Lord to prepare His ways;
⁷⁷ To give to His people the knowledge of salvation
^[a]By the forgiveness of their sins,
⁷⁸ Because of the tender mercy of our God,
With which the Sunrise from on high will visit us,
⁷⁹ To shine upon those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death,
To guide our feet into the way of peace.”
