And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.
The people were waiting on him, so they wished him to hurry.
Perhaps he had never before stayed so long in the temple This was not
his custom, so they were not accustomed to waited upon him. People do get used to things. Being used to something is not the same as being OK with it. A habit is not the same as a quality of character.
He had good reason to tarry so long
It is certain he had never received such a message as this. We are not used to waiting. If waiting is the price of God’s message, then wait on!
They did wait
Perhaps with indignation. Mostly out of duty. But they did wait. And, in waiting, they saw what they had never seen before.
Zacharias preached a message without saying a Word.
I think maybe the best preachers are those who know they can’t speak.
