Luke 1:67, 76-79

Zechariah, his father, filled with the Holy Spirit, spoke this prophecy

Even though you are only a small child, you will be called the prophet of the Most High, for you will go ahead of the Lord to prepare his way, providing knowledge of salvation to his people through the forgiveness of their sins. Through God's caring kindness to us, heaven's dawn will break upon us to shine on those who live in darkness and under the shadow of death, and to guide us along the path of peace.”
