If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who did the action. Alternate translation: [when Zechariah had finished his time of service at the temple]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

αἱ ἡμέραι τῆς λειτουργίας αὐτοῦ

the days ˱of˲_the ministry ˱of˲_him

Here, Luke uses the term days to refer to a particular time. Alternate translation: [his time of service at the temple]

ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ

˱he˲_went_away to (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐγένετο ὡς ἐπλήσθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι τῆς λειτουργίας αὐτοῦ ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τόν οἶκον αὐτοῦ)

This expression indicates implicitly that Zechariah did not live in Jerusalem, where the temple was located. Luke indicates in [1:39](../01/39.md) that Zechariah and Elizabeth lived instead in a city in the hill country of Judah, the area to the south of Jerusalem. Alternate translation: [he traveled back to his hometown]
