Luke 1:59-63

59And on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child. And they would have called him Zechariah after his father,

60but his mother answered, "No; he shall be called John."

61And they said to her, "None of your relatives is called by this name."

62And they made signs to his father, inquiring what he wanted him to be called.

63And he asked for a writing tablet and wrote, "His name is John." And they all wondered.
