Luke 1:67-80
67 The Holy Spirit came upon Zechariah (John the Baptist’s father) and he began to speak - 68 “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, because He has visited and performed [poieรณ: did, made, manufactured, constructed] redemption [lutrรณsis - a ransoming, a redemption; from lutroรณ - to release by paying a ransom] for his people. 69 He has sent us a mighty Savior from the royal line of his servant David. [Another version - He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David.] 70 Just as he promised through his prophets long ago.
71 We will be saved from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us! 72 He has been merciful to our ancestors by remembering his sacred agreement (testament, oath). 73 The agreement he swore with an oath to our ancestor Abraham. 74 That we, being delivered from hostile hands, may serve Him without fear, 75 in justice and righteousness, all our days. [He changes us - metanoรฉล - from metรก, "changed after being with, noiรฉล - think — think differently after]. 76 And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way, 77 to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins [hamartรญa - from “A” - not, and “mรฉros” - a part, share of — forfeiture because of not hitting the target, missing the mark, failure, sinful deed]. 78 Because of the affection and compassion of God, the sunrise (son-rise) from on high will visit us! [Another version - God's love and kindness will shine upon us like the sun that rises in the sky!] 79 To shine on those living in darkness and in - the shadow - of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.”
80 And the child grew and became strong in spirit. And he lived in the wilderness until he appeared publicly to Israel.

~ Hebrews 4:12-16 ~
12 The word of God is alive and powerful! It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. [Soul - psyxแธ - from psyxล - to breathe, blow, root of the English word psyche, a person's distinct identity, unique personhood.] [Spirit - pneuma - wind, spirit.] 13 Nothing is hidden from God! He sees through everything, and it is to him that we must all give an account of ourselves. 14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe. 15 For we have a chief priest who is not unable to sympathize with our weaknesses. Because he was tempted in every way that we are, but he didn't sin (“miss the mark”, misstep, do wrong). 16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence! There we will receive mercy and find grace to help us, always being just what we need.
