Luke 1:59
On the eighth day. On the eighth day male Jewish children were
circumcised and named (Genesis 17:12). The kinsmen present called the
child after his father's name, a common Jewish custom, but Elizabeth
protested that his name should be John, that given by the angel. The
matter was referred to the father.
