⁵ There was in the dayes of Herode the kyng of Iurie, a certaine priest, named Zacharias, of the course of Abia, & his wyfe was of the daughters of Aaron, & her name was Elizabeth. ⁶ They were both ryghteous before God, and walked in all the lawes and ordinaunces of the Lorde, that no man coulde fynde fault with them. ⁷ And they had no chylde, because that Elizabeth was barren: and they both were nowe well stricken in age. ⁸ And it came to passe, that when Zacharie executed the priestes office before God, as his course came, ⁹ Accordyng to ye custome of the priestes office, his lot was to burne incence, whe he went into the temple of the Lorde. ¹⁰ And the whole multitude of the people were without in prayer, whyle the incence was burnyng. ¹¹ And there appeared vnto hym an Angel of the Lorde, standyng on the ryght syde of the aulter of incence. ¹² And when Zacharias sawe him, he was troubled, and feare came vpo him. ¹³ But the Angel sayde vnto him: Feare not Zacharie, for thy prayer is hearde: and thy wyfe Elizabeth shall beare thee a sonne, & thou shalt cal his name Iohn. ¹⁴ And thou shalt haue ioy and gladnesse, and many shall reioyce at his birth.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the people waited for Zacharias,.... That were without, in the court of the Israelites, praying there, while he was offering incense: these were waiting for his coming out, in order to be blessed by him, according to Numbers 6:23 and be dismissed: and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple; beyond the usual time of burning incense; which might be occasioned either by a longer discourse of the angel with him than what is here related; or being struck with amazement at the sight and hearing of the angel, he might continue long musing on this unexpected appearance and relation; or he might spend some time not only in meditation upon it, but in mental prayer, confession, and thanksgiving. The high priest, when he went in to burn incense on the day of atonement,

"made a short prayer in the outward house, (in the temple,) and he did not continue long in his prayer, שלא להבעית, "that he might not affright" the Israelites'' m,

thinking that he was dead; for many high priests that were unfit for, or made alteration in the service, died in the holy of holies n.

"It is reported o of one high priest, that he continued long in his prayer, and his brethren, the priests, thought to have gone in after him; and they began to go in, and he came out; they say unto him, why didst thou continue long in thy prayer? he replied to them, is it hard in your eyes that I should pray for you, and for the house of the sanctuary, that it might not be destroyed? they answered him, be not used to do so; for we have learned, that a man should not continue long in prayer, that he may not affright Israel.''

This high priest, they elsewhere say p, was Simeon the just.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The people waited - That is, beyond the usual time.

Marvelled - Wondered. The priest, it is said, was not accustomed to remain in the temple more than half an hour commonly. Having remained on this occasion a longer time, the people became apprehensive of his safety, and wondered what had happened to him.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Luke 1:21. The people waited — The time spent in burning the incense was probably about half an hour, during which there was a profound silence, as the people stood without engaged in mental prayer. To this there is an allusion in Revelation 8:1-5. Zacharias had spent not only the time necessary for burning the incense, but also that which the discourse between him and the angel took up.
