LUKE 1

76 Then Zechariah said this to his little son:

"My child, you will be called {people will say that you are} a prophet

whom God [MTY/EUP] has sent;

you will begin your work before ◄the Lord/Messiah► comes;

you will prepare people so that they will be ready for him.

(OR, you will begin your work before the Messiah comes).

77 You will tell God’s people how he will forgive them and save them from being punished for their sins.
