Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:57–66: John the Baptizer was born and received his name

In this section, Elizabeth gave birth to a son, and she and his father gave him the name John. John received this name at the time when he was circumcised. He was the one who was later called John the Baptizer.

It was Jewish custom to circumcise a baby boy one week after his birth. The circumcision commonly took place at the family’s home. The father or a man who specialized in doing circumcision would cut off the skin at the end of the baby’s penis. This was a sign in each boy’s body that he was part of Israel and included in the covenant that God had made with Israel. Neighbors and relatives joined in the celebration.

God had shown his power in causing Elizabeth to become pregnant when she was old and had been unable to have children. When the baby was circumcised, God again showed his power by restoring Zechariah’s ability to speak. The unusual events in connection with John’s birth were told throughout the hill country of Judah. As a result, people thought about these things and felt awe and fear to see God working in that powerful way among them.

Some other possible headings for this section are:

Elizabeth gave birth to John

Elizabeth gave birth to a baby who was circumcised and named John

The birth and circumcision of John the Baptizer

1:57

When the time came for Elizabeth to have her child, she gave birth to a son.

¶ When Elizabeth’s pregnancy ended, she had a baby boy.
¶ The time came for Elizabeth to give birth, and she had/bore a son.

When the time came for Elizabeth to have her child, she gave birth to a son: This verse indicates that Elizabeth’s pregnancy ended and she gave birth to a son. Use a natural way in your language to express this. In some languages you may use an idiomatic expression.

When In Greek, this part of the verse begins with a conjunction that the BSB translates as When. This makes 1:57a a time clause. Many English versions translate this conjunction as “Now,” so that 1:57a introduces the next event. Translate it in a natural way in your language. In some languages a conjunction may not be needed.
