1:59And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.

1:64And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God.

1:65And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judæa.

1:66And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him.

1:67And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
