59 E aconteceu que, ao oitavo dia, vieram circuncidar o menino, e lhe chamavam Zacarias, o nome de seu pai.

60 E, respondendo sua mãe, disse: Não, porém será chamado João.

61 E disseram-lhe: Ninguém há na tua parentela que se chame por este nome.

62 E perguntaram por acenos ao pai como queria que lhe chamassem.

63 E, pedindo ele uma tabuinha de escrever, escreveu, dizendo: O seu nome é João. E todos se maravilharam.

64 E logo a boca se lhe abriu, e a língua se lhe soltou; e falava, louvando a Deus.

59 And it came to pass on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child, and they were calling it by the name of his father Zacharias.

60 And his mother having answered, said, No, but he will be called John.

61 And they said to her, There is no man among thy relatives who is called by this name.

62 And they made signs to his father, whatever he wanted to call him.

63 And having asked for a writing tablet, he wrote, saying, His name is John. And they all marveled.

64 And immediately his mouth was opened, and his tongue, and he spoke, praising God.
