John Gill, on Luke 1:60

“And his mother answering, said: Not so; but he shall be called John.”

“And his mother answered and said,.... That is, Elisabeth: not so, but he shall be called John; knowing that this was the name wherewith the angel said he should be called; either by divine revelation, she being filled with the Holy Ghost, Luk 1:41 or by information of her husband, who, doubtless, in writing, gave her an account of all that the angel had said unto him.”
