Bible Question:
In Luke 1:13 Zechariah is instructed to name his son John. Then the eighth day after John's birth (his bris: naming and circumcision) Elizabeth confirms his name as John, which is highly unusual since this was not a family name, as stated in Luke 1:60. Question: does anyone know why he was named John and is there a name relationship between John and Elijah? i.e., Is John another name for Elijah? Or does the name John have some other significance? |
Bible Answer: Jesus suggests to his apostles that John the Baptist is Elijah himself!!! |
