Meditating on the Scriptures Together

Galatians 4:4

But when the fullness of time had come,

God sent forth his Son,

born of woman,

born under the law, …

Luke 1:57-80

The Birth of John the Baptist

[57] Now the time came for Elizabeth to give birth, and she bore a son.... [66] and all who heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, “What then will this child be?” For the hand of the Lord was with him.

Zechariah's Prophecy

[67] And his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying,

[68] “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel,
for he has visited and redeemed his people
... [79] to give light to those who sit in darkness
and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the way of peace.”


[80] And the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
