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.

59 And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father. 60 And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John. 61 And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name. 62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called. 63 And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all. 64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God.
