[Luk 1:18-20 KJV] 18 And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.
If I were in Zacharias' shoes, I probably would have said something similar. Although, we think priests, pastors, reverends, etc. should know about such things, they are fallible humans with limited knowledge of exactly how the spiritual and earthly realms interact.
19 And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.
Gabriel has a point too. When an angel is delivering a message from God to you personally, just go with it.
20 And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.
Zacharias is going to have plenty of time to ponder this miracle that has been bestowed on him.
