Luke 1:20: "You shall be mute and not able to speak."
To use Yoda's great line: There is another.
There was another who was mute and unable to speak, by God's decree. Ezekiel.
Ezek 3:26 - God makes Ezekiel mute, because God doesn't want him to prophesy to the rebellious house of Israel. Then in 24:27, on the day the city and temple of Jerusalem are razed to the ground, Ezekiel is given his voice again.
There is another.
Zacharias finds his voice when he names John (Luke 1:64), the forerunner of the one who said: Tear down this temple and I'll build it again in 3 days.
When the temple came down, the voice came back. When the temple veil was torn, it was done. And God foretold it through Ezekiel's and Zacharias' mute-ness.
