Luke 1:57-63

⁵⁷Now the time that Elisheva should give birth was fulfilled, and she gave birth to a son.

⁵⁸Her neighbours and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her, and they rejoiced with her.

⁵⁹On the eighth day, they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zechariah, after the name of his father.

⁶⁰His mother answered, “Not so; but he will be called Yochanan.”

⁶¹They said to her, “There is no one amongst 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 Yochanan.” They all marvelled.
