Luke 1:57-64

57Now the time 1had come for Elizabeth to give birth, and she gave birth to a son. 58Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had 23displayed His great mercy toward her; and they were rejoicing with her.

59And it happened that on 4the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to call him Zacharias, 5after his father. 60But his mother answered and said, “No indeed; but 6he shall be called John.” 61And they said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who is called by that name.” 62And they 7made signs to his father, as to what he wanted him called. 63And he asked for a tablet and wrote as follows, “8His name is John.” And they were all astonished. 649And at once his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he began to speak in praise of God.
