Luke 1:57-60

The Birth of John the Baptist 57When it was time for Elizabeth to have her baby, she gave birth to a son.

58Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy, and they shared her joy. 59On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him after his father Zechariah,

60but his mother spoke up and said, “No! He is to be called John.”
