Luke 1:56-60 NIV

Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.
 
The Birth of John the Baptist
 
When it was time for Elizabeth to have her baby, she gave birth to a son. Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy, and they shared her joy.
On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him after his father Zechariah, but his mother spoke up and said, “No! He is to be called John.”
