Luke 1:18 in Context — Luke 1

16 E converterá muitos dos filhos de Israel ao Senhor seu Deus.

17 E irá adiante dele no espírito e virtude de Elias, para converter os corações dos pais aos filhos, e os rebeldes à prudência dos justos; a fim de preparar um povo pronto ao Senhor.

18 Então Zacarias disse ao anjo: Como terei certeza disso? Pois sou velho, e a minha mulher de idade avançada.

19 O anjo lhe respondeu: Eu sou Gabriel, que fico presente diante de Deus, e fui enviado para te falar e te dar estas boas notícias.

20 Eis que ficarás mudo, e não poderás falar até o dia em que essas coisas aconteçam, porque não creste nas minhas palavras, que se cumprirão no devido tempo.
