Luke 1:21
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he took so long in the temple.
In context
19 “I am Gabriel,” replied the angel. “I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.
20 And now you will be silent and unable to speak until the day this comes to pass, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled at their proper time.”
21 Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he took so long in the temple.
22 When he came out and was unable to speak to them, they realized he had seen a vision in the temple. He kept making signs to them but remained speechless.
23 And when the days of his service were complete, he returned home.
