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 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.
