This is a verse with reference to the Lord
Jesus Christ. He was priced in his hands by His own. The Message version make
a mockery here concerning the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Notice the Message
(MSG) translation below. All your commentaries make mentioned of His pierced
hands not His chest, body, back and arms. Plus, some of the versions take the
text from the singular and make it plural which makes the verse a blur
picture concerning Jesus. The verse
reads “He shall answer” not “we”. |

He was sold for the price of a slave (Zech. 11:12; Matt.
27:3 10). The result: He was wounded in the house of His
friends (Zech. 13:6) and pierced on the cross (Zech. 12:10). What
a tragedy that the "City of Peace" should reject
her "Prince of Peace" and crucify Him. Warren W. Wiersbe, Wiersbe's Expository Outlines – Here is a list of the prophecies to check against those
found by the group members: Christ the Branch—Zech. 3:8 Christ my Servant—Zech. 3:8 Jesus' entry into Jerusalem on a colt—Zech. 9:9 Christ the good Shepherd—Zech. 9:16; Zech. 11:4-9 Christ the smitten Shepherd—Zech. 13:7 Christ betrayed for 30 pieces of silver—Zech. 11:12-13 Jesus' hands pierced—Zech. 12:10 Christ's people saved—Zech. 12:10; Zech. 13:1 Christ wounded in the house of His friends—Zech. 13:6 Christ's return on the Mount of Olives—Zech. 14:3-8 Christ's return and coronation—Zech. 14 Henrietta C. Mears, What the Bible is All About, Zechariah foretells the Savior more than any other prophet except Isaiah: Christ the Branch—Zech. 3:8 Christ my Servant—Zech. 3:8 Christ's entry in Jerusalem on a colt—Zech. 9:9 Christ the good Shepherd—Zech. 9:16; Zech. 11:11 Christ the stricken Shepherd—Zech. 13:7 Christ betrayed for thirty pieces of silver—Zech.

Acts 1:11. Christ's coming and coronation—Zech. 14. Henrietta C Mears, What the Bible is All About, JFB -type of Messiah, condemned as a false prophet, and pierced with “wounds between His
hands.” Thus the transition to the direct prophecy of Him (Zec_13:7) is natural, which it would not be if He were not indirectly and in type alluded to. wounded in ... house of my friends — an implied admission that he had pretended to prophecy, and that his friends had wounded him for it in zeal for God (Zec_13:3). The Holy Spirit in Zechariah alludes indirectly to Messiah, the Antitype, wounded by those whom He came to befriend, who ought to have been His “friends,” who were His kinsmen (compare Zec_13:3, as to the false prophet’s friends, with Mar_3:21, “His friends,” Margin, “kinsmen”; Joh_7:5; “His own,” Joh_1:11; the Jews, “of whom as concerning the flesh He came,” Rom_9:5), but who wounded Him by the agency of the Romans (Zec_12:10). MH - Some good interpreters, observing how soon this comes after the mention of Christ's being pierced, think that these are the words of that great prophet, not of the false prophet spoken of before.
Christ was wounded in his hands, when they were nailed to the cross, and, after his resurrection, he had the marks of these wounds; and here he tells how he came by them; he received them as a false prophet, for the chief priests called him a deceiver, and upon that account would have him crucified; but he received them in the house of his friends - the Jews, who should have been his friends; for he came to his own, and, though they were his bitter enemies, yet he was pleased to call them his friends, as he did Judas (Friend, wherefore hast thou come?) because they forwarded his sufferings for him; as he called Peter Satan - an adversary, because he dissuaded him from them. Barnes - The most literal interpretation, then, of the
wounds in the hands harmonizes with the piercing before, and the smiting of
the Good Shepherd which follows, of whom David too prophesied, “They pierced
My Hands and My Feet” Psa_22:16. “What are those wounds on Thy hands? How
long, think you, and how and by whom will this be said to Him? For ever and ever, unceasingly, and with unspeakable
admiration it will be said, both by God the Father, “to whom He was obedient
unto death, the death of the Cross” Phi_2:8 : it
will be said also both by the holy “angels” who “desire to look into” Him
1Pe_1:12, and by people whom He has redeemed. O great miracle, wonderful
spectacle, especially in the Lord of all, to bear wounds in the midst of His
Hands! And He shall say; “With these I was wounded in the house of those who
loved Me.” O great sacrilege, sacrilegious homicide, that such wounds were inflicted in the house of those who loved. He will
not say, ‘with these I was wounded by those who loved Me,’ but ‘in the house
of those who loved Me.’ For they who inflicted them, loved Him not. Let me repeat that the day is coming when the Lord Jesus
Christ is going to make Himself known unto His brethren, the Jews. When He
came the first time, "he came unto his own, and his own received him
not" (John 1:11). In fact, they delivered Him up to be crucified. But
when He comes the second time, He will make Himself known to His own people.
"And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was
wounded in the house of my friends" (Zech. 13:6). Christ will make
Himself known to His brethren. And "in that day there shall be a fountain
opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and
for uncleanness" (Zech. 13:1). It will be a family affair between the
Lord Jesus and His brethren. The episode of Joseph revealing himself to his
brothers gives us a little inkling of how wonderful that day of Christ's
revelation will be. Joseph is so charged with emotion that he can't contain
himself. In the house of Pharaoh they can hear the weeping. They can't
understand what is happening over at Joseph's house. J. Vernon McGee, Thru The Bible with J. Vernon McGee Christ's Sufferings, Zechariah 13:6 Frank Charles Thompson, Thompson Chain Reference Bible 13:2-6 This chapter pictures the final days of the earth
as we know it. For God's new era to begin, there
must be a cleansing—all evil must be abolished. Therefore, idols will be
banished, and false prophets will be ashamed of themselves
and no longer try to deceive God's people.13:7 Just before his arrest, Jesus
quoted from this verse, referring to himself and his disciples (Matthew
26:31, 32). He knew beforehand that his disciples would scatter when he was
arrested. The Roman "sword" was the military power that put Christ
to death. Life Application Study Bible Zechariah's Messianic insight: He predicted that Christ
would enter Jerusalem triumphantly on a colt (Zec.
9:9), that he would be sold for thiry pieces of
silver (Zec. 11:12), that his blood would open up a
"fountain" in the House of David "for sin and for
uncleanness" (Zec. 13:1), that his wounds
would be inflicted in the house of his friends (Zec.
13:6) ("He came unto his own, and his own received him not,"Jn. 1:11). In a glorious foreview
Zechariah parts the curtain and shows the Savior in his triumphant arrival on
the Mount of Olives (Zec. 14:4). Howard A. Hanke, The Thompson
Chain Reference Bible Companion You have but to study "Moses and the prophets"
to find how clearly those holy men, who spake as
they were moved by the Holy Ghost, saw the sufferings of Christ and the glory
that would follow (Gen. 3:15; 22:18; Isa. 50:6; 53:3-12; Dan. 9:24-26; Zech.
6:12, 13; 13:6, 7; Mal. 3:1-3). James Smith, – Handfuls on Purpose, (Grand Rapids, MI:
Wm. B. Eerdmans, 1945), WORDsearch
CROSS e-book, 840. 5. His Second Coming. "His feet shall stand on the
Mount of Olives (chap. 14:3, 4). Notice that this is after He had been
pierced and wounded in the house of His friends (Jews) (chap. 13:6). James Smith, – Handfuls on Purpose His Cross in His hands. And one shall say unto Him:
"What are these wounds in Thine hands?" (chap. 13:6). Ah, these wounds are the marks of His
identity with the Man who was nailed to a Cross, of whom their fathers cried,
"Let Him be crucified." Shall that be the time "when a nation
shall be born in a day?" Something like this happens when a sin-smitten
soul gets its first look of Jesus as their sin-bearer. He died for me. My
sins were there at the nailing of Christ to the tree. The wounds in His
hands, even in His glorified body (John 20:20) will remain through all
Eternity, as a witness to the triumphs of His death. James Smith, – Handfuls on Purpose Brethren, observe that Christ so loved the sheep that he
gave his life. 'What are these wounds in thy hands? ... These are the wounds
I have received in the house of my friends' Zechariah 13:6. Brethren, if ever you and I get to heaven, this is what
we will see, 'A Lamb as it had been slain' Revelation 5:6. Are you attracted
by the sight? What are you made of, that you do not see this love? O
brethren, to whom will you go if not to him? Observe what he offers —
himself. 'I am the good shepherd, the good shepherd giveth
his life for the sheep', that is, I am willing to give myself to you. A Treasury of Great Preaching, |
