1:57Now Elisabeth’s full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.

1:58And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.

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.

1:60And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John.

1:61And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.

1:62And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.

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,

1:69And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;

1:70As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:

1:71That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;

1:72To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
