Zacarías 13:3

3 Si alguno continúa profetizando, su propio padre y madre le dirán: “Debes morir, porque has profetizado mentiras en el nombre del Señor
”. Entonces, mientras esté profetizando, su propio padre y madre lo apuñalarán.

Zacarías 13:3 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 13:3

And it shall come to pass, [that] when any shall yet
prophesy
Or attempt to prophesy, or propagate their idolatrous religion and principles after this time, when they shall be abundantly detected and exposed: then his father and his mother that begat him;
of whom he is born, and who, as his parents, must be supposed to have the most tender regard unto him, even to these the imposture will be so flagrant, that they will not encourage him, but, on the contrary, shall say unto him, Thou shall not live;
but die, according to the law against the false prophet in ( Deuteronomy 18:20 ) : for thou speakest lies in the name of the Lord;
which is the very character of the followers of the man of sin, who speak lies in hypocrisy, pretending that they are of God, and carrying a show of truth; religion, and holiness, ( 1 Timothy 4:1 1 Timothy 4:2 ) : and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him
through when he prophesieth;
so great will be their love to God, and to his truth, that, notwithstanding the nearness of blood, their hands will be upon him first, and either beat him, or put him to death; a son, according to the law, not being to be spared in such a case, ( Deuteronomy 13:6-10 ) .

1 Fuente de purificación
»En aquel día brotará un manantial para la dinastía de David y para el pueblo de Jerusalén; una fuente que los limpiará de todos sus pecados e impurezas.

2 »En aquel día —dice el Señor
de los Ejércitos Celestiales— borraré el culto a ídolos en toda la tierra, para que se olviden hasta de los nombres de esos ídolos. Quitaré de la tierra tanto a los falsos profetas como al espíritu de impureza que los acompañaba.

3 Si alguno continúa profetizando, su propio padre y madre le dirán: “Debes morir, porque has profetizado mentiras en el nombre del Señor
”. Entonces, mientras esté profetizando, su propio padre y madre lo apuñalarán.

4 »En aquel día la gente se avergonzará de decir que tiene el don profético. Nadie se hará pasar por profeta vistiéndose con ropa de profeta.

5 Dirá: “Yo no soy profeta; soy agricultor. Comencé a trabajar para un agricultor en mi niñez”.
