Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Luke 1
⁵⁵ As He spoke to our fathers, To Abraham and to his seed forever."
⁵⁶ And Mary remained with her about three months, and returned to her house.
⁵⁷ Now Elizabeth’s full time came for her to be delivered, and she brought forth a son.
⁵⁸ When her neighbors and relatives heard how the Lord had shown great mercy to her, they rejoiced with her.
⁵⁹ So it was, on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him by the name of his father, Zacharias.
⁶⁰ His mother answered and said, "No; he shall be called John."
⁶¹ But they said to her, "There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name."
⁶² So they made signs to his father--what he would have him called.
⁶³ And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, saying, "His name is John." So they all marveled.
⁶⁴ Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, praising God.
⁶⁵ Then fear came on all who dwelt around them; and all these sayings were discussed throughout all the hill country of Judea.
