Luke 1:78-80

Living Bible

⁷⁸ All this will be because the mercy of our God is very tender, and heaven’s dawn is about to break upon us, ⁷⁹ to give light to those who sit in darkness and death’s shadow, and to guide us to the path of peace.”

⁸⁰ The little boy greatly loved God^[a] and when he grew up he lived out in the lonely wilderness until he began his public ministry to Israel.
