Luke 1

59 Eight days later they came to circumcise the boy. They planned to call him Zechariah after his father.

60 "No," Elizabeth said. "He shall be called John."

61 "But there’s nobody among your relatives who has this name," they told her. 62 Through gestures they asked Zechariah, the boy’s father, what he wanted to call his son. 63 Zechariah motioned for something to write on. To everyone’s surprise he wrote, "His name is John." 64 Immediately he could speak again, and he started praising God.
