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, they came to circumcise the child, and they were calling him by the name of his father, Zacharias,

60 and his mother answering said, No, but he shall be called John.

61 And they said unto her -- There is none among thy kindred who is called by this name,

62 and they were making signs to his father, what he would wish him to be called,

63 and having asked for a tablet, he wrote, saying, John is his name; and they did all wonder;

64 and his mouth was opened presently, and his tongue, and he was speaking, praising God.
