Luke 1:57-66, 80
57 Now the time for Elizabeth to give birth arrived, and she brought forth a son. 58 And her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and so they congratulated her. 59 And it happened that, on the eighth day, they arrived to circumcise the boy, and they called him by his father's name, Zechariah. 60 And in response, his mother said: "Not so. Instead, he shall be called John." 61 And they said to her, "But there is no one among your relatives who is called by that name." 62 Then they made signs to his father, as to what he wanted him to be called. 63 And requesting a writing tablet, he wrote, saying: "His name is John." And they all wondered. 64 Then, at once, his mouth was opened, and his tongue loosened, and he spoke, blessing God. 65 And fear fell upon all of their neighbors. And all these words were made known throughout all the hill country of Judea. 66 And all those who heard it stored it up in their heart, saying: "What do you think this boy will be?" And indeed, the hand of the Lord was with him. 80 And the child grew, and he was strengthened in spirit. And he was in the wilderness, until the day of his manifestation to Israel. Acts 13:22-26 22 And having removed him, he raised up for them king David. And offering testimony about him, he said, 'I have found David, the son of Jesse, to be a man according to my own heart, who will accomplish all that I will.' 23 From his offspring, according to the Promise, God has brought Jesus the Savior to Israel. 24 John was preaching, before the face of his advent, a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. 25 Then, when John completed his course, he was saying: 'I am not the one you consider me to be. For behold, one arrives after me, the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to loosen.' 26 Noble brothers, sons of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, it is to you the Word of this salvation has been sent.
