Luke:1:57-66
mnt@Luke:1:57 @ Now when the time of Elizabeths delivery was come, she gave birth to a son;
mnt@Luke:1:58 @ and her neighbors and kinsfolk heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy toward her; and they rejoiced with her,
mnt@Luke:1:59 @ and came on the eighth day to circumcise the child. They were about to call him "Zachariah," after his father,
mnt@Luke:1:60 @ when his mother said, "No, he is to be called John."
mnt@Luke:1:61 @ Said they, "You have no relatives of that name!"
mnt@Luke:1:62 @ Then they asked his father by signs what he wished to call the child.
mnt@Luke:1:63 @ So he asked for a writing tablet and wrote down, "His name is John."
mnt@Luke:1:64 @ Every one was surprised, and at once his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God.
mnt@Luke:1:65 @ And there came a great fear upon all in the neighborhood; and throughout the hill country of Judea all these sayings were much talked about.
mnt@Luke:1:66 @ All the story laid it up in their hearts, saying "What, then, will this child be?" For the Lords hands was with him.
