John Is Born
57 Now the time bhad come for Elizabeth to give birth, and she gave birth to a son. 58 Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had c3displayed His great mercy toward her; and they were rejoicing with her. 59 And it happened that on 4the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to call him Zacharias, dafter his father. 60 But his mother answered and said, "No indeed ; but 5he shall be called John." 61 And they said to her, "There is no one among your relatives who is called by that name." 62 And they 6made signs to his father, as to what he wanted him called. 63 And he asked for a tablet and wrote as follows, "7His name is John." And they were all astonished. 64 8And at once his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he began to speak in praise of God. 65 Fear came on all those living around them; and all these matters were being talked about in all 9the hill country of Judea.New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, California.
