Luke 1:64

Praise and worshipMiracles and God's intervention

62 So they made signs to his father to find out what he wanted to name the child.

63 Zechariah asked for a tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” And they were all amazed.

Immediately Zechariah’s mouth was opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak, praising God.

65 All their neighbors were filled with awe, and people throughout the hill country of Judea were talking about these events.

66 And all who heard this wondered in their hearts and asked, “What then will this child become?” For the Lord’s hand was with him.
