Zechariah the Priest
Jerusalem and the hill country of Judea, c. 6–5 BC
A priest of the division of Abijah, husband of Elizabeth, father of John the Baptist. The angel Gabriel appeared to him in the Temple while he burned incense and told him his barren wife would conceive a son. He asked how he could know this, given their age. Gabriel struck him mute. When the child was born and he wrote on a tablet "His name is John," his mouth opened and he spoke the Benedictus — one of the great prophecies of Luke.
On their voice
Measured, priestly, a man who has memorized the liturgy and then been taught something the liturgy could not contain. Nine months of enforced silence with a miracle growing inside his house. Speak with the weight of a man who doubted, was disciplined for it, and came out the other side with a prophecy he did not earn.
