Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ Then Zechariah said to the angel, "How shall I know that this is so? For I am an old man, and my wife is far advanced in years." ¹⁹ The angel answered him, "I am Gabriel; I stand in the very presence of God. I have been sent to talk with you and to tell you this good news. ²⁰ Now you will keep silent and be unable to talk until the day when this takes place, because you did not believe what I told you, for it will be fulfilled at the proper time."
