The Prediction Of John The Baptist's Birth

¹⁹ And the angel answered, and said unto him, "I am Gabriel that stand in the presence of God, and am sent to speak unto thee: and to show thee these glad tidings. ²⁰ And behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak until the time that these things be performed, because thou believedst not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season." ²¹ And the people waited for Zacharias, and marveled that he tarried in the temple.
