58Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy, and they rejoiced with her.
59On the eighth day, when they came to circumcise the child, they were going to name him after his father Zechariah.
60But his mother replied, “No! He shall be called John.”
61They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who bears this name.”
62So they made signs to his father to find out what he wanted to name the child.
63Zechariah asked for a tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” And they were all amazed.
