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