Adam Clarke, on Luke 1:18
Adam Clarke · 1762–1832
Luke 1:18 · Douay-Rheims
“And Zachary said to the angel: Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.”
On this verse:
“Whereby shall I know this? - All things are possible to God: no natural impediment can have any power when God has declared he will accomplish his purpose. He has a right to be believed on his own word alone; and it is impious, when we are convinced that it is his word, to demand a sign or pledge for its fulfillment.”
