... her. And when it was the eighth day, they came to circumcise the child, and called him Zacharias, calling him by the name of his father. [61] And his mother answered and said unto them, Not so; but he shall be called John. [62] And they said unto her, There is no man of thy kindred that is called by this name. [63, 64] And they made signs to his father, saying, How dost thou wish to name him? And he asked for a tablet, and wrote and said, His name is John. And every one wondered. [65][Luke 1:64] And immediately his mouth was opened, and his tongue, and he spake and [66] praised God. And fear fell on all their neighbours: and this was spoken of in all [67] the mountains of Judah. And all who heard pondered in their hearts and said, What ...

Nor was it another spirit that the prophets also had, who proclaimed beforehand the coming of Christ. But still, there was ...

Then recognizing his own deficiencies desires that he may be dealt with like the fig-tree in the Gospel, and expresses a hope that words will not fail him in his endeavour to preach Christ. (HTML)
