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.
