59 And it happened that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were wanting to name him after his father Zechariah.
60 And his mother answered and said, “No, but he will be named John.”
61 And they said to her, “There is no one of your relatives who is called by this name.”
62 So they made signs to his father asking what he wanted him to be named,
63 and he asked for a writing tablet and wrote, saying, “John is his name.” And they were all astonished.
64 And his mouth and his tongue were opened immediately, and he began to speak, praising God.
65 And fear came on all those who lived near them, and in all the hill country of Judea all these events were discussed.
