59 Et étant venus le huitième jour pour circoncire le petit enfant, 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 Ils lui dirent: Il n'y a personne dans ta parenté qui soit appelé de ce nom.

62 Alors ils demandèrent par signe à son père comment il voulait qu'il fût nommé.

63 Et Zacharie ayant demandé des tablettes, écrivit ces mots: Jean est son nom; et ils en furent tous surpris.

64 A l'instant sa bouche s'ouvrit, sa langue fut déliée, et il parlait en 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.
