- And at once his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he began to speak in praise of God.
- Fear came on all those living around them; and all these matters were being talked about in all the hill country of Judea.
- All who heard them kept them in mind, saying, "What then will this child turn out to be?" For the hand of the Lord was certainly with him.
|
- And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
- And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all.
- And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God.
- And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea.

- And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying:
- "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, For He has visited us and accomplished redemption for His people,
- And has raised up a horn of salvation for us In the house of David His servant--
- As He spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from of old--
- Salvation FROM OUR ENEMIES, And FROM THE HAND OF ALL WHO HATE US;
|
- And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
- Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
- And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
- As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
- That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
|
- To show mercy toward our fathers, And to remember His holy covenant,
- The oath which He swore to Abraham our father,
- To grant us that we, being rescued from the hand of our enemies, Might serve Him without fear,
- In holiness and righteousness before Him all our days.
- "And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High; For you will go on BEFORE THE LORD TO PREPARE HIS WAYS;
|
- To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
- The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,
- That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
- In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
- 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;
|
- To give to His people the knowledge of salvation By the forgiveness of their sins,
- Because of the tender mercy of our God, With which the Sunrise from on high will visit us,
- TO SHINE UPON THOSE WHO SIT IN DARKNESS AND THE SHADOW OF DEATH, To guide our feet into the way of peace."
- And the child continued to grow and to become strong in spirit, and he lived in the deserts until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
|
- To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
- Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
- To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
- And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.
