Luke Chapter 1, Verse 20
From BibleWiki
20: και ιδου εση σιωπων και μη δυναμενος λαλησαι αχρι ης ημερας γενηται ταυτα ανθ ων ουκ επιστευσας τοις λογοις μου οιτινες πληρωθησονται εις τον καιρον αυτων
20: And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until
the day that these things shall be performed, because thou
believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their
season.
20: And behold, thou shalt be dumb and shalt not be able to speak
until the day wherein these things shall come to pass: because thou hast
not believed my words, which shall be fulfilled in their time.
Because thou believest not {z} , &c. This was both a sign and a
judgment -- a sign that he had come from God, and that the thing would
be fulfilled; and a judgment for not giving credit to what he had said.
There is no sin in the sight of God more aggravated than unbelief.
When GOD speaks, man should believe; nor can he that will not believe
escape punishment. God speaks only truth, and we should believe him.
God speaks only what is for our good, and it is right that we should
suffer if we do not credit what he says.
