Luke 1:20 in Context — Luke 1

18 Zacharie dit à l’ange: A quoi reconnaîtrai-je cela? Car je suis vieux, et ma femme est avancée en âge.

19 L’ange lui répondit: Je suis Gabriel, je me tiens devant Dieu; j’ai été envoyé pour te parler, et pour t’annoncer cette bonne nouvelle.

20 Et voici, tu seras muet, et tu ne pourras parler jusqu’au jour où ces choses arriveront, parce que tu n’as pas cru à mes paroles, qui s’accompliront en leur temps.

21 Cependant, le peuple attendait Zacharie, s’étonnant de ce qu’il restait si longtemps dans le temple.

22 Quand il sortit, il ne put leur parler, et ils comprirent qu’il avait eu une vision dans le temple; il leur faisait des signes, et il resta muet.
