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 On the eighth day, they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zacharias, after the name of his father. 60 His mother answered, "Not so; but he will be called John."

61 They said to her, "There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name." 62 They made signs to his father, what he would have him called.

63 He asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, "His name is John."

They all marveled. 64 His mouth was opened immediately and his tongue freed, and he spoke, blessing God.
