Luke 1:57-66 - The Birth Of John The Baptist
57 And the time was completed to Elizabeth, for her to bring forth; and she brought forth a son. 58 And they dwelling near and her kinsmen heard, for the Lord magnified his mercy with her; and they rejoiced with her.
59 And it was in the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him by the name of his father Zacharias. 60 And his mother, having answered said, Nay; but he shall be called John.
61 And they said to her, That there is none among thy kindred who is called by this name. 62 And they nodded to his father, what he may wish to have him called. 63 And having asked for a small writing tablet, he wrote, saying, John is his name. And they all wondered. 64 And his month was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he spake, praising God. 65 And fear was upon all dwelling round about them: and in all the mount of Judea all these words were discoursed about. 66 And all having heard, set in their heart, saying, What then shall this child be! And the hand of the Lord was with him.
