Luke 1:57-80

57WhenG1161 theG3588 timeG5550 cameG4130 forG3588 ElizabethG1665 to have her childG846G5088, she gave birth toG1080 a sonG5207. 58HerG846 neighborsG4040 andG2532 relativesG4773 heardG191 thatG3754 the LordG2962 had shown her greatG3170G846G3326 mercyG1656, andG2532 they rejoiced withG4796 herG846.

59OnG1722 theG3588 eighthG3590 dayG2250, whenG1096 they cameG2064 to circumciseG4059 theG3588 childG3813, they were going to nameG2564 him afterG1909G3588G3686 hisG846 fatherG3962 ZechariahG2197. 60ButG2532 hisG846 motherG3384 repliedG611G2036, “NoG3780! He shall be calledG2564 JohnG2491.”

61

They saidG2036 toG4314 herG846, “There isG1510 no oneG3762 amongG1537 yourG4771 relativesG4772 whoG3739 bearsG2564 thisG3778 nameG3686.” 62So they made signsG1770 toG3588 hisG846 fatherG3962 to find out whatG5101G302 he wantedG2309 to nameG2564 the child.

63

Zechariah asked forG154 a tabletG4093 and wroteG1125, “HisG846 nameG3686 isG1510 JohnG2491.” AndG2532 they were all amazedG3956G2296. 64ImmediatelyG3916 Zechariah’s mouthG4750 was openedG455 andG2532 hisG846 tongueG1100 was released, andG2532 he began to speakG2980, praisingG2127 GodG2316.

65

AllG3956 theirG3588 neighborsG4039G846 were filled withG1096G1909 aweG5401, andG2532 people throughoutG1722G3650 theG3588 hill countryG3714 of JudeaG2449 were talking aboutG1255 theseG3778 eventsG4487. 66AndG2532 allG3956 who heardG191 this wonderedG5087 inG1722 theirG846 heartsG2588 and askedG3004, “WhatG5101 thenG686 will thisG3778 childG3813 becomeG1510?” ForG1063 the Lord’sG2962 handG5495 wasG1510 withG3326 himG846.

67ThenG2532 hisG846 fatherG3962 ZechariahG2197 was filledG4130 with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 andG2532 prophesiedG4395:

80AndG1161 theG3588 childG3813 grewG837 andG2532 became strongG2901 in spiritG4151;2 andG2532 he livedG1510 inG1722 theG3588 wildernessG2048 untilG2193 the timeG2250 of hisG846 public appearanceG323 toG4314 IsraelG2474.
