Luke 1:57-65

57Now the time had come for Elizabeth to give birth, and she had a son.

58Then her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her his great mercy, and they rejoiced with her.

59When they came to circumcise the child on the eighth day, they were going to name him Zechariah, after his father.

60But his mother responded, “No. He will be called John.”

61Then they said to her, “None of your relatives has that name.”

62So they motioned to his father to find out what he wanted him to be called.

63He asked for a writing tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” And they were all amazed.

64Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue set free, and he began to speak, praising God.

65Fear came on all those who lived around them, and all these things were being talked about throughout the hill country of Judea.
