Luke 1:57-66
\n57 Now the time came for Elizabeth to give birth, and she bore a son. 58 Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown his great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her.
\n59 On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him Zechariah after his father. 60 But his mother said, \u201cNo; he is to be called John.\u201d 61 They said to her, \u201cNone of your relatives has this name.\u201d 62 Then they began motioning to his father to find out what name he wanted to give him. 63 He asked for a writing tablet and wrote, \u201cHis name is John.\u201d And all of them were amazed. 64 Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue freed, and he began to speak, praising God. 65 Fear came over all their neighbors, and all these things were talked about throughout the entire hill country of Judea. 66 All who heard them pondered them and said, \u201cWhat then will this child become?\u201d For, indeed, the hand of the Lord was with him.
