Wavuleka kwaoko umlomo wakhe, lwakhululwa nolwimi lwakhe, wathetha ebonga uThixo (Luka 1:64)
Lo mgca utyhila isiphelo esonwabisayo sokuqala kukaZekariya ukungakholelwa kwinto ayityhilwe nguThixo. Siyakhumbula ukuba kwiinyanga ezilithoba ngaphambilana, ngexa uZakariya wayezalisekisa umsebenzi wakhe wobubingeleli wokunikela ngedini kwiSancta Sanctorum yeTempile, watyelelwa yiNgelosi eyintloko ezukileyo, emi phambi koThixo. ebudaleni bakhe kwaye lo mntwana uya kuba nguye oya kulungiselela abantu bakwa-Israyeli uMesiya olandelayo. Elinjani ukuba likhulu ilungelo elinokuba lelo! Kodwa uZekariya akazange akholwe. Ngenxa yoko, iNgelosi enkulu yamenza isimumu ngenxa yeenyanga ezisithoba zokukhulelwa komfazi wakhe.
Iintlungu zeNkosi zihlala zizipho zobabalo lwaKhe. UZakariya akazange ohlwaywe ngenxa yezizathu okanye ngenxa yokohlwaya. Endaweni yoko, esi sohlwayo sasifana nokohlwaya. Wanikwa isohlwayo esithobekileyo sokuphulukana namandla okuthetha iinyanga ezilithoba ngesizathu esivakalayo. Kubonakala ngathi uThixo wayesazi ukuba uZekariya wayedinga iinyanga ezisithoba ukuze acamngce ngokuzolileyo ngento eyathethwa yiNgelosi enkulu. Wayedinga iinyanga ezilithoba ukuba acinge ngokukhulelwa okumangalisayo komfazi wakhe. Kwaye wayefuna iinyanga ezilithoba ukuba acinge malunga nokuba ngubani lo mntwana. Kwaye iinyanga ezilithoba zavelisa isiphumo esinqwenelekayo sokuguqulwa okupheleleyo kwentliziyo.
Emva kokuzalwa komntwana, eli zibulo kulindeleke ukuba libizwe ngegama likayise, uZakariya. Kodwa iNgelosi enkulu yayixelele uZakariya ukuba umntwana uzakuthiwa nguJohn. Kwathi, ngomhla wesibhozo, ngomhla wolwaluko unyana wakhe, xa waziswa phambi kweNkosi, uZekariya wabhala emacwecweni ukuba igama lomntwana nguYohane. Oku yayikukutsiba kokholo kunye nomqondiso wokuba wayemke ngokupheleleyo ekungakholweni ukuya kukholo. Kwaye yayikukutsiba kokholo okwaphelisa ukuthandabuza kwakhe kwangaphambili.
