59 And it came to pass on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they called it after the name of his father, Zacharias.

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

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

62 And they made signs to his father as to what he might wish it to be called.

63 And having asked for a writing-table, he wrote saying, John is his name. And they all wondered.

64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he spake, blessing God.

59 Le huitième jour, ils vinrent pour circoncire l'enfant, et ils l'appelaient Zacharie, du nom de son père.

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

61 Ils lui dirent: Il n'y a dans ta parenté personne qui soit appelé de ce nom.

62 Et ils firent des signes à son père pour savoir comment il voulait qu'on l'appelle.

63 Zacharie demanda des tablettes, et il écrivit: Jean est son nom. Et tous furent dans l'étonnement.

64 Au même instant, sa bouche s'ouvrit, sa langue se délia, et il parlait, bénissant Dieu.
