Birth of John the Baptist

Elizabeth has her miracle baby, Zechariah finally gets his voice back after naming him John, and immediately starts prophesying bars.

What Happened

The neighbors and family are all hyped about Elizabeth's baby and try to name him Zechariah Jr., but Elizabeth says 'nah, his name is John.' They look at Zechariah like 'is she serious?' and he writes 'HIS NAME IS JOHN' on a tablet. Instantly unmuted. Then he drops the Benedictus prophecy which goes absolutely hard about salvation and his son preparing the way.

The Origin Story Nobody Saw Coming

Luke starts his Gospel by telling his friend Theophilus he did the research. Then we get back-to-back angel visits — one to an old priest who doubted and got muted, and one to a teenage girl who said yes. The Magnificat goes hard, and Zechariah finally gets his voice back with a prophecy that slaps.
