In the days before Jesus was born, a priest named Zachariah was serving in the temple. An angel of the Lord appeared to him! He told him that Zachariah and Elizabeth were going to have a baby boy. God had special plans for this child. When Zachariah couldn't believe it, the angel, Gabriel, made it so Zachariah wouldn't be able to speak. But Elizabeth could speak, and she knew that God had done a miracle for her.
