_ _ not able — deprived of the power of speech (Luke 1:64). He asked a sign, and now he got it.

_ _ until the day that these things shall be performed — See on Luke 1:64.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Luke 1:5-25.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Luke 1:20

Thou shalt be dumb — The Greek word signifies deaf, as well as dumb: and it seems plain, that he was as unable to hear, as he was to speak; for his friends were obliged to make signs to him, that he might understand them, Luke 1:62.
