Birth of John the Baptist

 Now the time came for Elizabeth to be delivered, and she gave birth to a son.  And her neighbors and kinsfolk heard that the Lord had shown great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her. And on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they would have named him Zechari'ah after his father, but his mother said, "Not so; he shall be called John."  And they said to her, "None of your kindred is called by this name."  And they made signs to his father, inquiring what he would have him called.  And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, "His name is John." And they all marveled.  And immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God.  And fear came on all their neighbors. And all these things were talked about through all the hill country of Judea;  and all who heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, "What then will this child be?" For the hand of the Lord was with him.  And the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness till the day of his manifestation to Israel.

And as they were eating, he took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them, and said, Take; this is my body.  And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank of it. And he said to them, This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.
