Luke 1:19-21

New Catholic Bible

¹⁹ The angel replied, “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to convey to you this good news. ²⁰ But now, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled at their appointed time, you will lose your power of speech and will become mute until the day that these things take place.”

²¹ Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and were surprised that he was delaying so long in the sanctuary.
