Adam Clarke, on Luke 1:67

“And Zachary his father was filled with the Holy Ghost; and he prophesied, saying:”

“Zacharias - prophesied - The word prophesy is to be taken here in its proper acceptation, for the predicting or foretelling future events. Zacharias speaks, not only of what God had already done, but also of what he was about to do, in order to save a lost world.”
