59 And it came to pass on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zacharias, after the name of his father. 60 And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John. 61 And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name. 62 And they made signs to his father, what he would have him called. 63 And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all. 64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, blessing God.

59 Et il arriva qu'au huitième jour ils vinrent pour circoncire le petit enfant, et ils l'appelaient Zacharie, du nom de son père.

60 Mais sa mère prit la parole, et dit : Non, mais il sera nommé Jean.

61 Et ils lui dirent : il n'y a personne en ta parenté qui soit appelé de ce nom.

62 Alors ils firent signe à son père, qu'il déclarât comment il voulait qu'il fût nommé.

63 Et [Zacharie] ayant demandé des tablettes, écrivit : Jean est son nom; et tous en furent étonnés.

64 Et à l'instant sa bouche fut ouverte, et sa langue [déliée], tellement qu'il parlait en louant Dieu.
