Luke 1:15

Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.

And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace,

And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

On that day the LORD magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life.

For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth.

And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee.

And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.

Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.

The LORD of hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, and as the corners of the altar.

But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother’s breasts.

He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
