Luke 1:57–66

⁵⁷And to Elisabeth was the time fulfilled for her bringing forth, and she bare a son, ⁵⁸and the neighbours and her kindred heard that the Lord was making His kindness great with her, and they were rejoicing with her. ⁵⁹And it came to pass, on the eighth day, they came to circumcise the child, and they were calling him by the name of his father, Zacharias, ⁶⁰and his mother answering said, ‘No, but he shall be called John.’ ⁶¹And they said unto her—‘There is none among thy kindred who is called by this name,’ ⁶²and they were making signs to his father, what he would wish him to be called, ⁶³and having asked for a tablet, he wrote, saying, ‘John is his name;’ and they did all wonder; ⁶⁴and his mouth was opened presently, and his tongue, and he was speaking, praising God. ⁶⁵And fear came upon all those dwelling around them, and in all the hill-country of Judea were all these sayings spoken of, ⁶⁶and all who heard did lay them up in their hearts, saying, ‘What then shall this child be?’ and the hand of the Lord was with him.
