Luke 1:51-63

51He has wrought strength with his arm; he has scattered haughty [ones] in the thought of their heart.

52He has put down rulers from thrones, and exalted the lowly.

53He has filled the hungry with good things, and sent away the rich empty.

54He has helped Israel his servant, in order to remember mercy,

55(as he spoke to our fathers,) to Abraham and to his seed for ever.

56And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her house.

57But the time was fulfilled for Elizabeth that she should bring forth, and she gave birth to a son.

58And her neighbours and kinsfolk heard that [the] Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and they rejoiced with her.

59And it came to pass on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they called it after the name of his father, Zacharias.

60And his mother answering said, No; but he shall be called John.

61And they said to her, There is no one among thy kinsfolk who is called by this name.

62And they made signs to his father as to what he might wish it to be called.

63And having asked for a writing-table, he wrote saying, John is his name. And they all wondered.
