Lukas 1,58

Jesus
JoyMercy and compassion

56 Maria ble hos Elisabet i omtrent tre måneder og vendte så hjem.

57 Da tiden kom for Elisabet å føde, fødte hun en sønn.

Hennes naboer og slektninger hørte at Herren hadde vist henne stor miskunn, og de gledet seg med henne.

59 På den åttende dagen kom de for å omskjære barnet, og de ville gi ham navnet etter hans far Sakarja,

60 men hans mor svarte, “Nei! Han skal hete Johannes.”
