Luke 1:59-63

59And it happened that on 1the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to call him Zechariah, 2after his father.

60And yet his mother responded and said, “No indeed; but 3he shall be called John.”

61And they said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name.”

62And they 45made signs to his father, as to what he wanted him called.

63And he asked for a tablet and wrote 6as follows, “7His name is John.” And they were all amazed.
