The Setup

See, Zechariah was a priest, and he had a little "incident" in the temple involving an angel and, uh, temporary muteness.

Fast forward nine months, and Elizabeth is ready to give birth. Everyone's buzzing because this isn’t just any baby—it’s the kid foretold by the angel Gabriel himself! People are wondering what kind of special plans God has for this little one. Spoiler alert: he’s going to be a pretty big deal.
