‏ Luke 1:57

The Birth of John the Baptist

This section tells the story of John the Baptist’s birth. It describes the joy of his family and neighbors, the special way he was named, and how God’s power was seen in these events. The birth of John was not only a miracle for his parents, but also a sign that God was beginning something new for his people.

v. 57: When the time came, Elisabeth gave birth to a son, just as God had promised (Luke 1:57 a). Even though John was conceived by a miracle, his birth happened in the normal way. God’s promises come true at the right time, not before.
