We were waiting for the priest.

I was in the crowd praying outside the temple at the hour of the incense offering, the day the priest Zechariah went in and took ages to come out.

Anyone else at the temple this afternoon? The old priest Zechariah went in to burn the incense, and we were all outside praying, waiting for him. He was in there for ages. Like, ages. Then he comes out and he can't speak. Just making signs with his hands. Everyone's saying he's seen a vision in there.

Incense hour. Big crowd out here in the courtyard, all of us praying, waiting for the priest to come back out.

He’s been in there ages.

He’s out. He can’t speak. He’s trying to tell us something with his hands and nothing’s coming out.

Knew it. Nobody takes that long in there for nothing.
