Lukas 1,60

John

58 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,

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

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

62 Så gjorde de tegn til hans far, for å finne ut hva han ønsket å kalle barnet.
