59 | And 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. |
60 | And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John. |
61 | And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name. |
62 | And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called. |
63 | And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marveled all. |
64 | And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God. |
65 | And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judea. |
66 | And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him. |
