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, &c.--Mary believed what was far harder without a sign. Abraham, though older, and doubtless Sarah, too, when the same promise was made to him, "staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strong in faith, giving glory to God." This was that in which Zacharias failed.”
