Luke 1:59-66

⁵⁹And it happened that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to call him Zechariah, after his father. ⁶⁰And yet his mother responded and said, “No indeed; but he shall be called John.” ⁶¹And they said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name.” ⁶²And they made signs to his father, as to what he wanted him called. ⁶³And he asked for a tablet and wrote as follows, “His name is John.” And they were all amazed. ⁶⁴And at once his mouth was opened and his tongue freed, and he began speaking in praise of God. ⁶⁵And fear came on all those who lived around them; and all these matters were being talked about in the entire hill country of Judea. ⁶⁶All who heard them kept them in mind, saying, “What then will this child turn out to be?” For indeed the hand of the Lord was with him.
