57NowG1161 the timeG5550 1had comeG4092 for ElizabethG1665 to giveG5088 birthG5088, and she gaveG1080 birthG5088 to a sonG5207. 58Her neighborsG4040 and her relativesG4773 heardG191 that the LordG2962 had 23displayedG3170 His greatG3170 mercyG1656 towardG3326 her; and they were rejoicingG4796 withG4796 her.

59And it happenedG1096 that on 4the eighthG3590 dayG2250 they cameG2064 to circumciseG4059 the childG3813, and they were going to callG2564 him ZechariahG2197, 5afterG1909 his fatherG3962. 60And yet his motherG3384 respondedG611 and saidG3004, “NoG3780 indeedG3780; but 6he shall be calledG2564 JohnG2491.” 61And they saidG3004 to her, “There is noG3762 oneG3762 amongG1537 your relativesG4772 whoG3739 is calledG2564 by this nameG3686.” 62And they 78madeG1770 signsG1770 to his fatherG3962, as to whatG5101G302 he wantedG2309 him calledG2564. 63And he askedG154 for a tabletG4093 and wroteG1125 9as followsG3004, “10His nameG3686 is JohnG2491.” And they wereG2296 allG3956 amazedG2296. 6411And at onceG3916 his mouthG4750 was openedG455 and his tongueG1100 freed, and he began speakingG2980 in praiseG2127 of GodG2316.
