Zacarías 11:10

10 Entonces tomé mi vara llamada Favor y la partí en dos para mostrar que había revocado el pacto que había hecho con todas las naciones.

Zacarías 11:10 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 11:10

And I took my staff, [even] Beauty, and cut it asunder,
&c.] Signifying that he dropped his pastoral care of them: the Gospel indeed, which is meant by the staff "Beauty", cannot be made void; it will have its designed effect; it is the everlasting Gospel, and will endure; its blessings, promises, doctrines, ordinances, and ministers, shall continue, till all the elect are gathered in, even unto the second coming of Christ: but then it may be removed from one place to another; it may be taken from one people, and given to another; and which is generally owing to contempt of it, unfruitfulness under it, and indifference to it; and this is the case here, it designs the taking away of the Gospel from the Jews, who despised it, and the carrying of it into the Gentile world; see ( Matthew 21:43 ) ( Acts 13:46 Acts 13:47 ) : that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the
people;
not the covenant of works, that was made with all mankind in Adam; that was broke, not by the Lord, but by man; and was broke before the Gospel was published; nor the covenant of grace, for this was not made with all the people, nor can it be broken; but the Mosaic economy, the Sinai covenant, called the old covenant, which gradually vanished away: it was of right abolished at the death of Christ; when the Gospel was entirely removed, it more appeared to be so; and this was thoroughly done at the destruction of the city and temple. The last clause may be rendered, "which" covenant "I have made with all the people"; the Gentiles, having promised and given orders to send the Gospel unto them, which was accordingly done.

Zacarías 11:10 In-Context

8 En un solo mes me deshice de los tres pastores malvados.
Sin embargo, perdí la paciencia con estas ovejas y ellas también me odiaron.

9 Así que les dije: «Ya no seré su pastor. Si se mueren, que se mueran. Si las matan, que las maten. ¡Y que las sobrevivientes se devoren unas a otras!».

10 Entonces tomé mi vara llamada Favor y la partí en dos para mostrar que había revocado el pacto que había hecho con todas las naciones.

11 Así terminó mi pacto con ellas. El sufrido rebaño me miraba y sabían que el Señor
hablaba por medio de mis acciones.

12 Así que les dije: «Si les parece bien, páguenme lo que consideren que merezco; pero solo si quieren». Entonces ellos valuaron mi pago en treinta piezas de plata.
