1:57Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.

1:58And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.

1:59And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.

1:60And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John.

1:61And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.

1:62And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.

1:63And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all.

1:64And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God.
