Cz_12Z_Lc1,63

“He asked for a writing-tablet and wrote: His name is John. And all of them were amazed”

Zachariah wants his son be called John, a name that comes from the Hebrew word “Yehohanan” – “God showed his grace”. Elizabeth, a woman in an old age, bearless and somehow marginized by the society, in which having babies was a sign of good prosperity and God’s blessing, gave birth to John. More important is that God showed mercy to Israel sending his Savior.
