* **appeared to him** - "suddenly came to him" or "was suddenly there with Zechariah"
* **Your prayer has been heard ** - "God has heard what you asked" The following is implied and could be added: "and will grant it." God did not just hear what Zechariah prayed for; he was also going to do it. (See: [[en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_explicit]])
