* And the time was fulfilled to Elizabeth for her to bear , and she bore a son . * And the neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord magnified His mercy with her , and they rejoiced with her . * And it happened on the eighth day , they came to circumcise the child and were calling it by his father 's name , Zacharias . * And his mother answered , saying , Not so , but he shall be called John . * And they said to her , No one is among your kindred who is called by this name . * And they signaled to his father , what he might desire him to be called . * And asking for a writing tablet , he wrote , saying , John is his name . And all marveled . * And instantly his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed , and he spoke , blessing God . * And fear came on all those living around them . And in all the hill country of Judea all these things were talked about . * And all who heard laid them up in their hearts , saying , What then will this child be ? And the hand of the Lord was with him .
