SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:60
Y respondiendo su madre, dijo: No; sino Juan ser llamado.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 1:60
Verse 60. Not so; but he shall be called John.] This is the name which the angel desired should be given him, ver. 13, and of which Zacharias by writing had informed his wife. There is something very remarkable in the names of this family. Zachariah, whyrkz the memory or memorial of Jehovah; why yeho, at the end of the word, being contracted for hwhy Yehovah, as in many other names. Elisabeth, hbsyla 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, njwhy 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 i. 29; see also chap. iii. 16, and Mark i. 4.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 60. And his mother answered and said , etc.] 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.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 57-66 - In these verses we have an account of the birth of John the Baptist and the great joy among all the relations of the family. He shall be called Johanan, or "Gracious," because he shall bring in the gospel of Christ, wherein God's grace shines most bright. Zacharias recovered his speech. Unbelief closed his mouth, and believing opened it again: he believers, therefore he speaks. When God opens our lips, our mouth must show forth his praise; and better be without speech, than not us it in praising God. It is said, The hand of the Lord was working with John. God has ways of working on children in their infancy, which we cannot account for. We should observe the dealings of God, and wait the event.
