He asked for a tablet In the context of Luke 1:63, the phrase "He asked for a tablet" refers to Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist. The Greek word for "tablet" is "πινακίδιον" (pinakidion), which denotes a small writing tablet, often made of wood coated with wax. This reflects the historical practice of writing in the ancient world, where such tablets were common for temporary notes. Zechariah's request for a tablet signifies his determination to communicate clearly despite his temporary muteness, a condition imposed by the angel Gabriel due to his initial disbelief (Luke 1:20). This act of asking for a tablet underscores the importance of written communication in affirming God's will and the fulfillment of prophecy. and wrote His name is John And they were all astonished His name is John.--There is something emphatic in the use of the present tense.
