Luke 1:57-66
57Now the time that Elizabeth should give birth was fulfilled, and she brought forth a son.
58Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her; and they rejoiced with her.
59It happened on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zacharias, after the name of the father.
60His mother answered, "Not so; but he will be called John."
61They said to her, "There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name."
62They made signs to his father, what he would have him called.
63He asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, "His name is John." They all marveled.
64His mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue freed, and he spoke, blessing God.
65Fear came on all who lived around them, and all these sayings were talked about throughout all the hill country of Judea.
66All who heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, "What then will this child be?" The hand of the Lord was with him.
