John the Baptist’s family: Elizabeth and Zechariah

There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.

But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.

Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.

And 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.

And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all.

But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.

Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.

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