His Life by William E. Barton

THE BIRTH OF JOHN THE BAPTIST.

Now Elisabeth's time was fulfilled that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son. And her neighbors and her kinsfolk heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her; and they rejoiced with her.

And it came to pass on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.

And his mother answered and said, |Not so; but he shall be called John.|

And they said unto her, |There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.|

And they made signs to his father, what he would have him called.

And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, saying, |His name is John.|

And they marvelled all. And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, blessing God.

And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea.

And all that heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, |What then shall this child be?|

For the hand of the Lord was with him.
