Contextual Overview

⁵⁷ When it was time for Elizabeth to give birth, she had a boy. ⁵⁸ Her neighbors and relatives heard how good the Lord was to her, and they rejoiced with her. ⁵⁹ When the baby was eight days old, they came to circumcise him. They wanted to name him Zechariah because this was his father's name, ⁶⁰ but his mother said, "No! He will be named John." ⁶¹ The people said to Elizabeth, "But no one in your family has this name." ⁶² Then they made signs to his father to find out what he would like to name him. ⁶³ Zechariah asked for a writing tablet and wrote, "His name is John," and everyone was surprised. ⁶⁴ Immediately Zechariah could talk again, and he began praising God. ⁶⁵ All their neighbors became alarmed, and in all the mountains of Judea people continued talking about all these things. ⁶⁶ The people who heard about them wondered, saying, "What will this child be?" because the Lord was with him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And his mother answered and said,.... That is, Elisabeth:

not so, but he shall be called John; knowing that this was the name wherewith the angel said he should be called; either by divine revelation, she being filled with the Holy Ghost, Luke 1:41 or by information of her husband, who, doubtless, in writing, gave her an account of all that the angel had said unto him.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Shall be called John - This was the name which the angel had said should be given to him, of which Zechariah had probably informed Elizabeth by writing.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 60. Not so; but he shall be called John. — This is the name which the angel desired should be given him, Luke 1:13, and of which Zacharias by writing had informed his wife. There is something very remarkable in the names of this family. Zachariah, זכריהו the memory or memorial of Jehovah; יהו yeho, at the end of the word, being contracted for יהוה Yehovah, as in many other names. Elisabeth, אליסבה the Sabbath or rest of my strong God: names probably given them by their parents, to point out some remarkable circumstance in their conception or birth. And John, which should always be written Jehochanan or Yehochanan, יהוחנן the grace or mercy of Jehovah: so named, because he was to go before and proclaim the God of all grace, and the mercy granted through him to a lost world. See John 1:29; see also Luke 3:16, and Mark 1:4.
