59 Y aconteció, que al octavo día vinieron para circuncidar al niño; y le llamaban del nombre de su padre, Zacarías.

60 Y respondiendo su madre, dijo: No; sino Juan será llamado.

61 Y le dijeron: ¿Por qué? nadie hay en tu parentela que se llame de este nombre.

62 Y hablaron por señas á su padre, cómo le quería llamar.

63 Y demandando la tablilla, escribió, diciendo: Juan es su nombre. Y todos se maravillaron.

64 Y luego fué abierta su boca y su lengua, y habló bendiciendo á Dios.

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.
