Luke 1:19-21

Worldwide English (New Testament)

¹⁹ The angel answered him, `I am Gabriel and I stand before God. I have been sent to talk to you and to bring you this good news.

²⁰ Now listen. You will be silent and not be able to talk until the day that all this has happened. This is because you did not believe what I told you. At the right time all that I said will come true.'

²¹ the people were waiting for Zechariah to come out of the temple. They were surprised that he stayed in so long.
