Luke 1:22

And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.

Cross-reference

Luke 1:20 contains Gabriel's prophecy that Zechariah will be mute — here in 1:22 the prophecy is fulfilled as he cannot speak.

Leviticus 9:23: priests exit to bless the people — Zechariah exits but cannot speak, so the blessing is withheld, a strong contrast.

Numbers 12:6 says God reveals Himself to prophets in visions — Zechariah's vision in the temple aligns with this pattern.
