Strongs On/Off
Context
1:68 “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel , because he has come to help and has redeemed his people .
1:69 For he has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David ,
1:70 as he spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets from long ago ,
1:71 that we should be saved from our enemies , and from the hand of all who hate us .
1:72 He has done this to show mercy to our ancestors , and to remember his holy covenant –
1:73 the oath that he swore to our ancestor Abraham . This oath grants
1:74 that we, being rescued from the hand of our enemies , may serve him without fear ,
1:75 in holiness and righteousness before him for as long as we live .
1:76 And you , child , will be called the prophet of the Most High . For you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways ,
1:77 to give his people knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins .
1:78 Because of our God’s tender mercy the dawn will break upon us from on high
1:79 to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death , to guide our feet into the way of peace .”
1:80 And the child kept growing and becoming strong in spirit , and he was in the wilderness until the day he was revealed to Israel .
