Because of his ubelief, Zechariah was struck with a iability to speak util the baby was bor. Joh the Baptist Is Bor Whe Joh was bor, Zechariah was suddely able to speak agai. Filled with the Holy Spirit, Zechariah delivered the prophecy cotaied i Luke 1: This proclamatio is kow as the Beedictus, which is Lati for praise be, the first words of the prophecy. the average Jew.
