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.

59 Ja kahdeksantena päivänä he tulivat ympärileikkaamaan lasta ja tahtoivat antaa hänelle hänen isänsä mukaan nimen Sakarias.

62 Ja he kysyivät viittomalla lapsen isältä, minkä nimen hän tahtoi hänelle annettavaksi.

64 Ja kohta hänen suunsa aukeni, ja hänen kielensä vapautui, ja hän puhui kiittäen Jumalaa.
