The Birth and Naming of John the Baptist
The true prophets (5)
1. When the time came for Elizabeth to deliver, she gave birth to a son. And her neighbours and relatives heard how the Lord had shown great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.
2. And it happened that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called the boy Zacharias, after his father. But his mother answered, saying, "Not so, for he shall be called John.” And they said to her, "But there is none in your family called by that name.”
3. And they made signs to his father, how he would have
him called. And he asked for a writing tablet and wrote, saying at the same time: His name
is John. And they all marvelled; for his mouth suddenly opened and his tongue loosened,
and he spoke and praised God. (Chap. 3:1-3)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
Zacharias's acceptance of what was announced to him by the angel and his joy about the child, which he faithfully named John, dissolved in him what he had caused.
4. And great awe came upon all who were nearby; and this happening was made known throughout the hill country of Judea. And all those who heard it took it to heart, saying, "What kind of child might this be? And the hand of Jehovah was with him.”
5. And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy
Spirit, and prophesied, saying, "Glory be to You, O God of Israel; for You have
accepted and redeemed Your people, and have raised a horn of salvation for us in the house
of Your servant David, as You spoke through the mouth of Your holy prophets who have
existed since the world began: (Chap. 3:4-5)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
Words often have many different meanings. It depends on the feeling which the person puts in the word. And so it was with the words "Your holy prophets”, which did not mean only the prophets recorded in the books of the so-called Old Testament.
Only one is holy: God, the Eternal.
Blessed were and are the prophets sent by God, who fulfilled His will, giving the word of God from their own fulfilled lives, and admonishing people to accept it and actualize it. These are the genuine prophets.
6. That we should be saved from our enemies and from the hand of all those who hate us. That You show the mercy which You promised to our forefathers and remember Your holy covenant,
7. the oath which You have sworn to our father Abraham that You would grant to us, that being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, we can serve You without fear, in holiness and righteousness all the days of our lives.
8. And this child will be called the prophet of the Highest; for he will go before Your face, O God, to prepare Your ways and to bring the knowledge of salvation to Your people through the forgiveness of their sins.
9. Through the loving mercy of our God, through which the sunrise from on high has visited us, so that He may give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, and may guide our feet on the path of peace.”
10. And the child grew and became strong in spirit, and his mission remained hidden till the day of his appearance before the people of Israel. (Chap. 3:6-10)
