Jeremiah 33:14-16

14 The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will fulfill the

promise I made to the house of Israel and the house of Judah. 15 In

those days and at that time I will cause a righteous Branch to spring

up for David; and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the

land. 16 In those days Judah will be saved and Jerusalem will live in

safety. And this is the name by which it will be called: "The Lord is

our righteousness."

Luke 1:57-66

57 Now the time came for Elizabeth to give birth, and she bore a son.

58 Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown his

great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her. 59 On the eighth day

they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him

Zechariah after his father. 60 But his mother said, "No; he is to be

called John." 61 They said to her, "None of your relatives has this

name." 62 Then they began motioning to his father to find out what

name he wanted to give him. 63 He asked for a writing tablet and

wrote, "His name is John." And all of them were amazed. 64

Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue freed, and he

began to speak, praising God. 65 Fear came over all their neighbors,

and all these things were talked about throughout the entire hill

country of Judea. 66 All who heard them pondered them and said,

"What then will this child become?" For, indeed, the hand of the Lord

was with him.
