Luke 1:61-65

“But there's nobody among your relatives who has this name,” they told her.

Through gestures they asked Zechariah, the boy's father, what he wanted to call his son.

Zechariah motioned for something to write on. To everyone's surprise he wrote, “His name is John.”

Immediately he could speak again, and he started praising God.

All those living nearby were in awe at what had happened, and the news spread throughout the hill country of Judea.
