Lukas 1,59

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

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

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.”

61 De sa til henne, “Men ingen av dine slektninger har det navnet.”

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
