Zechariah is the prophet who said they will look on Me whom they pierced.
The word of the Lord came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah.
Zechariah the son of Berechiah, son of Iddo, prophesied in the second year of Darius, with Haggai, to the returned remnant in Jerusalem. The Lord calls them to return. He shows the lampstand, the flying scroll, and the Branch. He says they will look on Me whom they have pierced, and mourn. John reads that of the soldier’s spear. Revelation reads it of the coming: every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him. Other men bear the name. Zechariah the priest is the father of John the Baptist. Jesus speaks of Zechariah son of Berechiah, murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. This page is the prophet of the book.
- The pierced word is the prophet’s. John and Revelation take it up.
- He is dated. The second year of Darius, with Haggai.
- Do not fold the priest and the martyr into this page without a text that does it.
