Luke 1:57-66
The Birth of John the Baptist

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

57:

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

58:

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.

59:

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

60:

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

61:

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

62:

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

63:

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

64:

65 And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea.

65:

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.

66:
