Luke 1: 57
- 66

Now the time came for Elizabeth to be
delivered, and she gave birth to a son. |
| 58 |
And her neighbors and kinsfolk heard that
the Lord had shown great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her.
|
| 59 |
And on the eighth day they came to
circumcise the child; and they would have named him Zechari'ah after his father,
|
| 60 |
but his mother said, "Not so; he shall be
called John." |
| 61 |
And they said to her, "None of your kindred
is called by this name." |
| 62 |
And they made signs to his father, inquiring
what he would have him called. |
| 63 |
And he asked for a writing tablet, and
wrote, "His name is John." And they all marveled. |
| 64 |
And immediately his mouth was opened and his
tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God. |
| 65 |
And fear came on all their neighbors. And
all these things were talked about through all the hill country of Judea;
|
| 66 |
and all who heard them laid them up in their
hearts, saying, "What then will this child be?" For the hand of the Lord was
with him. |
