## Luke 1:57-79 in Context (Verses 54–80 KJV)
 
 [54 ](/kjv/luke/1/54) He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of *his* mercy;
 
 [55 ](/kjv/luke/1/55) As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.
 
 [56 ](/kjv/luke/1/56) And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
 
 [57 ](/kjv/luke/1/57) Now Elisabeth’s full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
 
 [58 ](/kjv/luke/1/58) And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.
 
 [59 ](/kjv/luke/1/59) And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.
 
 [60 ](/kjv/luke/1/60) And his mother answered and said, Not *so*; but he shall be called John.
 
 [61 ](/kjv/luke/1/61) And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.
 
 [62 ](/kjv/luke/1/62) And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
 
 [63 ](/kjv/luke/1/63) And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all.
 
 [64 ](/kjv/luke/1/64) And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue *loosed*, and he spake, and praised God.
 
 [65 ](/kjv/luke/1/65) And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judæa.
 
 [66 ](/kjv/luke/1/66) And all they that heard *them* laid *them* up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him.
 
 [67 ](/kjv/luke/1/67) And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
 
 [68 ](/kjv/luke/1/68) Blessed *be* the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
 
 [69 ](/kjv/luke/1/69) And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
 
 [70 ](/kjv/luke/1/70) As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
 
 [71 ](/kjv/luke/1/71) That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
 
 [72 ](/kjv/luke/1/72) To perform the mercy *promised* to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
 
 [73 ](/kjv/luke/1/73) The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,
 
 [74 ](/kjv/luke/1/74) That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
 
 [75 ](/kjv/luke/1/75) In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
 
 [76 ](/kjv/luke/1/76) 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;
 
 [77 ](/kjv/luke/1/77) To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
 
 [78 ](/kjv/luke/1/78) Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
 
 [79 ](/kjv/luke/1/79) To give light to them that sit in darkness and *in* the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
 
 [80 ](/kjv/luke/1/80) And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.
 
[Mark 16](/kjv/mark/16) [Luke 2](/kjv/luke/2)
