57Now the time for Elizabeth to give birth was completed and she bore a son.
58Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had used His great mercy with her, and they rejoiced with her.
59So it was, on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child, and they started calling him by the name of his father, Zacharias.
60His mother reacted and said, “Absolutely not; he shall be called John!”
61So they said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name.”
62So they started motioning to his father, as to what he would have him called.
63Asking for a writing tablet he wrote this: “His name is to be John!” They all marveled.
