59 Et il arriva qu'au huitième jour ils vinrent pour circoncire le petit enfant, et ils l'appelaient Zacharie, du nom de son père.

60 Mais sa mère prit la parole, et dit : Non, mais il sera nommé Jean.

61 Et ils lui dirent : il n'y a personne en ta parenté qui soit appelé de ce nom.

62 Alors ils firent signe à son père, qu'il déclarât comment il voulait qu'il fût nommé.

63 Et [Zacharie] ayant demandé des tablettes, écrivit : Jean est son nom; et tous en furent étonnés.

64 Et à l'instant sa bouche fut ouverte, et sa langue [déliée], tellement qu'il parlait en louant Dieu.

59 And on the eighth day they came to see to the circumcision of the child, and they would have given him the name of Zacharias, his father's name;

60 But his mother made answer and said, No, his name is John.

61 And they said, Not one of your relations has that name.

62 And they made signs to his father, to say what name was to be given to him.

63 And he sent for writing materials and put down: His name is John; and they were all surprised.

64 And straight away his mouth was open and his tongue was free and he gave praise to God.
