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 Aštuntą dieną jie susirinko berniuko apipjaustyti ir norėjo jį pavadinti tėvo varduZachariju.

60 Atsakydama jo motina tarė: "O, ne! Jis vadinsis Jonas".

61 Jie jai sakė: "Bet niekas tavo giminėje neturi šito vardo".

62 Jie ženklais paklausė tėvą, kaip jis norėtų pavadinti kūdikį.

63 Šis, pareikalavęs rašomosios lentelės, užrašė: "Jo vardasJonas". Ir visi stebėjosi.

64 Tuoj pat atsivėrė jo lūpos, atsirišo liežuvis, ir jis kalbėjo, šlovindamas Dievą.
