Zaccaria 11:11

11 E quello fu annullato in quel giorno; e le pecore più misere del gregge che m’osservavano, conobbero che quella era la parola dell’Eterno.

Zaccaria 11:11 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 11:11

And it was broken in that day
In right, the day Christ died; apparently, when the Gospel, the substance of it, was removed; and, in fact, at the time of Jerusalem's destruction: and so the poor of the flock; (See Gill on Zechariah 11:7): that waited upon me;
as servants on their masters; as clients on their patron; as beggars at the door for alms; as attendants on the worship of God, for the manifestations of himself, for the performance of promises, and for answers of prayer: or "observed me" ^F8; what he said and did, his word, and his ordinances; what he abolished, and what he instituted: knew that it [was] the word of the Lord;
either that Christ the Shepherd was the essential Word of the Lord; or that the prophecies concerning the destruction of the Jews, their civil and ecclesiastical state, were the word and decree of God now fulfilled; or that the Gospel taken from them is the word of the Lord, which he is the author of; his grace is the matter and substance of; and which he speaks by his ministers; and may be known by the matter and efficacy of it; by the refreshment and comfort it gives; by its leading souls to Christ; and by the harmony, agreement, and uniformity of its doctrines.

Zaccaria 11:11 In-Context

9 E io dissi: "Non vi pascerò più; la moribonda muoia, quella che sta per perire perisca, e quelle che restano, divorino l’una la carne dell’altra".

10 E presi la mia verga Favore e la spezzai, per annullare il patto che avevo stretto con tutti i popoli.

11 E quello fu annullato in quel giorno; e le pecore più misere del gregge che m’osservavano, conobbero che quella era la parola dell’Eterno.

12 E io dissi loro: "Se vi par bene, datemi il mio salario; se no, lasciate stare". Ed essi mi pesarono il mio salario; trenta sicli d’argento.

13 E l’Eterno mi disse: "Gettalo per il vasaio, questo magnifico prezzo, al quale m’hanno stimato!" E io presi i trenta sicli d’argento, e li gettai nella casa dell’Eterno per il vasaio.
