Contextual Overview
5In the days of Herod [the Great], king of Judea, there was a certain priest whose name was Zacharias, of the division of Abijah. His wife was a descendant of Aaron [the first high priest of Israel], and her name was Elizabeth. 6They both were righteous (approved) in the sight of God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and requirements of the Lord. 7But they were childless, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both far advanced in years. 8Now it happened while Zacharias was serving as priest before God in the appointed order of his priestly division, 9as was the custom of the priesthood, he was chosen by lot to enter [the sanctuary of] the temple of the Lord and burn incense [on the altar of incense]. 10And all the congregation was praying outside [in the court of the temple] at the hour of the incense offering. 11And an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing to the right of the altar of incense. 12When Zacharias saw the angel, he was troubled and overcome with fear. 13But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zacharias, because your petition [in prayer] was heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will name him John. 14"You will have great joy and delight, and many will rejoice over his birth,

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And when he came out, he could not speak unto them,.... Or deliver the benediction they were waiting for:
and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: which he made them to understand, by the gestures he used: for he beckoned unto them; nodding his head, or by some motions of his hands the Ethiopic version adds, "with his hand": or of his lips; for the signs of a dumb man are distinguished into ר××××, and קפ××¦× q; the one is a sign which is expressed by the head and hands; and the other is a sign expressed by the lips: hence that rule, r
"a dumb man beckons, and is beckoned to; and Ben Bethira says, he moves his lips, and lips are moved to him:''
and remained speechless; to the time the angel fixed.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Had seen a vision - The word âvisionâ means âsight, appearance,â or âspectre,â and is commonly applied to spirits, or to beings from another world. When he came out of the temple, it is probable that they âsuspectedâ that something of this nature had detained him there, and that, on inquiry of him, he signified by a nod that this was the case. He was unable to speak, and they had no way of âperceivingâ it but by such a sign. On the word âvision,â see the notes at Isaiah 1:1.
For he beckoned unto them - That is, by beckoning unto them, or by a sign, he informed them of what he had seen.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Luke 1:22. They perceived that he had seen a vision — As the sanctuary was separated from the court by a great veil, the people could not see what passed, but they understood this from Zacharias himself, who, ην Î´Î¹Î±Î½ÎµÏ Ïν, made signs, or nodded unto them to that purpose. Signs are the only means by which a dumb man can convey his ideas to others.
