Luke 1:18-20

J.B. Phillips New Testament

¹⁸ But Zacharias replied to the angel, “How can I know that this is true? I am an old man myself and my wife is getting on in years ...”

^19-20 “I am Gabriel,” the angel answered. “I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and tell you this good news. Because you do not believe what I have said, you shall live in silence, and you shall be unable to speak a word until the day that it happens. But be sure that everything that I have told you will come true at the proper time.”
