59 And, on the eighth day, when they came to the circumcision of the child, they would have called him by his father's name, Zacharias.

60 And his mother interposed, saying, No; but he shall be called John.

61 They said to her, There is none of your kindred of that name.

62 They, therefore, asked his father by signs, how he would have him called.

63 He, having demanded a table-book, wrote upon it, His name is John, which surprised them all.

64 And his mouth was opened directly, and his tongue loosed. And he spoke, praising God.
