NETBible

On¹ the eighth day² they came to circumcise the child, and they wanted to name³ him Zechariah after his father.

NET Notes

¹tn Grk “And it happened that.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

²sn They were following OT law (Lev 12:3) which prescribed that a male child was to be circumcised on the eighth day.

³tn This could be understood as a conative imperfect, expressing an unrealized desire (“they were trying to name him”). It has been given more of a voluntative nuance in the translation.
