Luke 1:20-22

International Standard Version

²⁰ But because you did not believe my announcement, which will be fulfilled at its proper time,^[a] you will become silent and unable to speak until the day this happens.”

²¹ Meanwhile, the people kept waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he stayed in the sanctuary so long. ²² But when he did come out, he was unable to speak to them. Then they realized that he had seen a vision in the sanctuary. He kept motioning to them but remained unable to speak.
