What Does Luke 1:62 Mean?
Unable to settle the matter with the mother, they turn to the silent father, gesturing their question. The decision that will confirm or overturn custom rests with the man who has had nine months to ponder his doubt and God's faithfulness.
Zacharias's silence has brought him to this threshold: one act of written obedience stands between him and his voice. God in his mercy often gives a second moment to the servant who faltered in the first. Everything now waits on whether the old priest will say what God said.
