Luke 1:59-63

59On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him after his father Zechariah,

60but his mother spoke up and said, “No! He is to be called John.”

61They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who has that name.”

62Then they made signs to his father, to find out what he would like to name the child.

63He asked for a writing tablet, and to everyone’s astonishment he wrote, “His name is John.”
