Zacarias 11:11

11 Foi, pois, anulado naquele dia; assim os pobres do rebanho que me respeitavam, reconheceram que isso era palavra do Senhor.

Zacarias 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.

Zacarias 11:11 In-Context

9 Então eu disse: Não vos apascentarei mais; o que morrer morra, e o que for destruído seja destruído; e os que restarem, comam cada um a carne do seu próximo.

10 E tomei a minha vara Graça, e a quebrei, para desfazer o meu pacto, que tinha estabelecido com todos os povos.

11 Foi, pois, anulado naquele dia; assim os pobres do rebanho que me respeitavam, reconheceram que isso era palavra do Senhor.

12 E eu lhes disse: Se parece bem aos vossos olhos, dai-me o que me é devido; e, se não, deixai-o. Pesaram, pois, por meu salário, trinta moedas de prata.

13 Ora o Senhor disse-me: Arroja isso ao oleiro, esse belo preço em que fui avaliado por eles. E tomei as trinta moedas de prata, e as arrojei ao oleiro na casa do Senhor.
