and for greater privacy retired into the hill-country, whither
she was soon afterwards followed by her kinswoman, Mary.
Three months after this, and while Mary still remained with
her, Elizabeth was delivered of a son. The birth of John
preceded by six months that of our Lord. On the eighth
day the child of promise was, in conformity with the law of
Moses, brought to the priest for circumcision, and as the
performance of this rite was the accustomed time for naming
a child, the friends of the family proposed to call him
Zacharias after the name of his father. The mother, however, required to have him called John; a decision which
Zacharias, still speechless, confirmed by writing on a tablet
" His name is John." The judgment on his want of faith
was then at once removed.
The Protevangelium relates that when Herod sent to slay
the young children at Bethlehem, Elizabeth fled with John
into the hill-country, " and looked for somewhere to hide
him, and there was no place of concealment. And Elizabeth groaned in spirit, and said ' Mount of God, receive a
mother with her child/ And suddenly the mountain divided
and received her. And light shone through to them, for
the angel of the Lord was with them, preserving them."
The servants of Herod questioned Zacharias, and when
he would not tell them, they slew him between the porch
and the altar. " And about daybreak Zacharias was slain;
and the children of Israel knew not that it was so. But at
the hour of greeting the priests went, and the blessing of
Zacharias did not meet them according to custom. And
when he tarried they were all afraid; but one of them
ventured and went in, and perceived congealed blood near
the altar, and a voice was heard saying, 'Zacharias is
murdered, and his blood shall not be wiped out till his
avenger cometh.' And he went out and told the priests,
and then they ventured in and saw what had occurred.
