Luke 1:23

And it came to pass, when the days of his ministration were fulfilled, he departed unto his house.

The word translated "ministration" here, [@leitourgein], "in Biblical Greek refers to priestly SERVICE in the worship of God and also to service for the needy. From the word comes the English word LITURGY."[19] It should be noted that Zacharias did not use his handicap as an excuse for terminating his service. He fulfilled his assignment. In the same manner, people today should not use any handicap, old or new, as a basis for refusing to do their duty.
