Luke 1:57-66

57 And◦ to Elizabeth was fulfilled the time◦ that she should bring·​·forth; and she gave·​·birth to a son.
58 And her neighbors and kinsfolk heard that the Lord had magnified His mercy with her, and they rejoiced with her.
59 And it came·​·to·​·pass that on▵ the eighth day they came to circumcise the little·​·child, and they called him by the name of his father, Zacharias1.
60 And his mother answered and said◦, Not so, but he shall be called John.
61 And they said to her, There is no one of thy kinsfolk who is called by this name.
62 And◦ they beckoned to his father, what he willed to have him called.
63 And he asked for a tablet, and wrote, saying, John is his name; and they all marveled.
64 And◦ immediately his mouth was opened, and his tongue, and he spoke, blessing God.
65 And fear came·​·upon◦ all who dwelt·​·around them; and all these sayings were talked·​·of in the whole mountain region of Judea.
66 And all who heard put them in their hearts, saying, Who then shall this little·​·child be? And the hand of the Lord was with him.
