* Now Elisabeth 's full time came that she should be delivered ; and she brought forth a son . * And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her ; and they rejoiced with her . * And it came to pass , that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child ; and they called him Zacharias , after the name of his father . * And his mother answered and said , Not so ; but he shall be called John . * And they said unto her , There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name . * And they made signs to his father , how he would have him called . * And he asked for a writing table , and wrote , saying , His name is John . And they marvelled all . * And his mouth was opened immediately , and his tongue loosed , and he spake , and praised God . * And fear came on all that dwelt round about them : and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea . * And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts , saying , What manner of child shall this be ! And the hand of the Lord was with him .
