Luke 1:57–66

57 Now Elizabeth’s full time of being delivered was come: and she brought forth a son.

58 And her neighbors and kinsfolks heard that the Lord had shewed his great mercy towards her: and they congratulated with her.

59 And it came to pass that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child: and they called him by his father’s name Zachary.

60 And his mother answering, said: Not so. But he shall be called John.

61 And they said to her: There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.

62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.

63 And demanding a writing table, he wrote, saying: John is his name. And they all wondered.

64 And immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed: and he spoke, blessing God.

65 And fear came upon all their neighbours: and all these things were noised abroad over all the hill country of Judea.

66 And all they that had heard them laid them up in their heart, saying: What an one, think ye, shall this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him.
