Birth of John the Baptist

⁵⁷ Now Elizabeth’s full time came for her to be delivered, and she brought forth a son.

¹³ But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and ^(A)you shall call his name John.

² For Sarah ^(A)conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, ^(B)at the set time of which God had spoken to him. ³ And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him—whom Sarah bore to him—^(C)Isaac.^[a]

⁶ So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. ⁷ And ^(A)she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a ^[a]manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
