According to The Bible, John the Baptist's father, Zechariah, was unable to speak because he doubted the angel Gabriel's announcement that his wife Elizabeth would conceive a child in her old age. As a sign of the truth of the angel's words, Zechariah was struck mute until the birth of his son John. This loss of speech served as a lesson in faith and obedience, as Zechariah's doubt was replaced with belief in the miraculous fulfillment of God's plan.
John the Baptist was approximately eight days old when his father, Zechariah, regained his ability to speak. This event occurred after John's birth when Zechariah, who had been mute due to disbelief, was able to proclaim his son's name and prophecy.
