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 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.
