Cho Eunchan's Preaching: A priest Zechariah was not able to speak when he did not believe the birth of John the Baptist foretold(Luke 1:8-25)
----누가복음 1:8-25----
8.마침 사가랴가 그 반열의 차례대로 하나님 앞에서 제사장의 직무를 행할새
9.제사장의 전례를 따라 제비를 뽑아 주의 성전에 들어가 분향하고
10.모든 백성은 그 분향하는 시간에 밖에서 기도하더니
11.주의 사자가 그에게 나타나 향단 우편에 선지라
12.사가랴가 보고 놀라며 무서워하니
13.천사가 그에게 이르되 사가랴여 무서워하지 말라 너의 간구함이 들린지라 네 아내 엘리사벳이 네게 아들을 낳아 주리니 그 이름을 요한이라 하라
14.너도 기뻐하고 즐거워할 것이요 많은 사람도 그의 태어남을 기뻐하리니
15.이는 그가 주 앞에 큰 자가 되며 포도주나 독한 술을 마시지 아니하며 모태로부터 성령의 충만함을 받아
16.이스라엘 자손을 주 곧 그들의 하나님께로 많이 돌아오게 하겠음이라
17.그가 또 엘리야의 심령과 능력으로 주 앞에 먼저 와서 아버지의 마음을 자식에게, 거스르는 자를 의인의 슬기에 돌아오게 하고 주를 위하여 세운 백성을 준비하리라
18.사가랴가 천사에게 이르되 내가 이것을 어떻게 알리요 내가 늙고 아내도 나이가 많으니이다
19.천사가 대답하여 이르되 나는 하나님 앞에 서 있는 가브리엘이라 이 좋은 소식을 전하여 네게 말하라고 보내심을 받았노라
20.보라 이 일이 되는 날까지 네가 말 못하는 자가 되어 능히 말을 못하리니 이는 네가 내 말을 믿지 아니함이거니와 때가 이르면 내 말이 이루어지리라 하더라
----Luke 1:8-25----
8.Once when Zechariah's division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,
9.he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to go into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
10.And when the time for the burning of incense came, all the assembled worshipers were praying outside.
11.Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
12.When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and was gripped with fear.
13.But the angel said to him: "Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to give him the name John.
14.He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth,
15.for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He is never to take wine or other fermented drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from birth.
16.Many of the people of Israel will he bring back to the Lord their God.
17.And he will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous--to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."
18.Zechariah asked the angel, "How can I be sure of this? I am an old man and my wife is well along in years."
19.The angel answered, "I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news.
20.And now you will be silent and not able to speak until the day this happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come true at their proper time."
21.Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he stayed so long in the temple.
22.When he came out, he could not speak to them. They realized he had seen a vision in the temple, for he kept making signs to them but remained unable to speak.
23.When his time of service was completed, he returned home.
24.After this his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion.
25."The Lord has done this for me," she said. "In these days he has shown his favor and taken away my disgrace among the people."
