59 Stalo se pak v den osmý, přišli obřezovati dítěte, a nazývali jej jménem otce jeho Zachariášem.

60 Ale odpověděvši matka jeho, řekla: Nikoli, ale slouti bude Jan.

61 I řekli k ní: Však nižádného není v rodu tvém, kterýž by sloul jménem tím.

62 I dávali návěští otci jeho, jak by ho chtěl nazývati.

63 A on požádav deštičky, napsal řka: Jan jest jméno jeho. I divili se všickni.

64 A ihned otevřela se ústa jeho a jazyk jeho, i mluvil, velebě Boha.

59 And on the eighth day they came to see to the circumcision of the child, and they would have given him the name of Zacharias, his father's name;

60 But his mother made answer and said, No, his name is John.

61 And they said, Not one of your relations has that name.

62 And they made signs to his father, to say what name was to be given to him.

63 And he sent for writing materials and put down: His name is John; and they were all surprised.

64 And straight away his mouth was open and his tongue was free and he gave praise to God.
