Luke 1:21

The people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he was lingering in the temple. [The people had stopped praying and started worrying about what had happened. According to the Talmud (a Jewish book summarizing and commenting on the Old Testament), the priest was only supposed to be in the Holy Place for a short time.]
