☆ Gospel:Luke 1:67-79
67
And his father, Zacharias, was full of the Holy Spirit, and with the voice of a prophet said these words:
68
Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has come to his people and made them free,
69
Lifting up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David,
70
(As he said, by the mouth of his holy prophets, from the earliest times,)
71
Salvation from those who are against us, and from the hands of those who have hate for us;
72
To do acts of mercy to our fathers and to keep in mind his holy word,
73
The oath which he made to Abraham, our father,
74
That we, being made free from the fear of those who are against us, might give him worship,
75
In righteousness and holy living before him all our days.
76
And you, child, will be named the prophet of the Most High: you will go before the face of the Lord, to make ready his ways;
77
To give knowledge of salvation to his people, through the forgiveness of sins,
78
Because of the loving mercies of our God, by which the dawn from heaven has come to us,
79
To give light to those in dark places, and in the shade of death, so that our feet may be guided into the way of peace.

☆ 2 Samuel 7:1-5, 8b-12, 14a, 16
1
Now when the king was living in his house, and the Lord had given him rest from war on every side;
2
The king said to Nathan the prophet, See now, I am living in a house of cedar, but the ark of God is housed inside the curtains of a tent.
3
And Nathan said to the king, Go and do whatever is in your heart; for the Lord is with you.
4
Now that night the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying,
5
Go and say to my servant David, The Lord says, Are you to be the builder of a house, a living-place for me?
8b
The Lord of armies says, I took you from the fields, from keeping the sheep, so that you might be a ruler over my people, over my people Israel:
9
And I have been with you wherever you went, cutting off before you all those who were against you; and I will make your name great, like the name of the greatest ones of the earth.
10
And I will make a resting-place for my people Israel, planting them there, so that they may be living in the place which is theirs, and never again be moved; and never again will they be troubled by evil men as they were at the first,
11
From the time when I put judges over my people Israel; and I will give you peace from all who are against you. And the Lord says to you that he will make you the head of a line of kings.
12
And when the time comes for you to go to rest with your fathers, I will put in your place your seed after you, the offspring of your body, and I will make his kingdom strong.
14a
I will be to him a father and he will be to me a son:
16
And your family and your kingdom will keep their place before me for ever: the seat of your authority will never be overturned.
