Zaccaria 11:11

11 E quello fu annullato in quel giorno, e i poveri d’infra la greggia che mi osservavano conobbero che ciò era parola del Signore.

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 Ed io dissi: Io non vi pasturerò più; quella che muore muoia, quella che perisce perisca, e quelle che rimangono mangino la carne l’una dell’altra.

10 Ed io presi la mia verga, detta Piacevolezza, e la spezzai; annullando il mio patto, che io avea fatto con tutti i popoli.

11 E quello fu annullato in quel giorno, e i poveri d’infra la greggia che mi osservavano conobbero che ciò era parola del Signore.

12 Ed io dissi loro: Se così vi piace, datemi il mio premio; se no, rimanetevene. Ed essi mi pesarono trenta sicli d’argento per lo mio premio.

13 E il Signore mi disse: Gettali via, perchè sien dati ad un vasellaio; quest’è il prezzo onorevole, nel quale io sono stato da loro apprezzato. Io presi adunque i trenta sicli d’argento, e li gettai nella Casa del Signore, per esser dati ad un vasellaio.
