Lk 1, 77English original
To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins.
For as if desiring to explain the name of Jesus, i. e. the Saviour, he frequently makes mention of salvation, but lest men should think it was a temporal salvation which was promised, he adds, for the forgiveness of sins.
