Zaccaria 13:5 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 13:5

But he shall say, I [am] no prophet
That he is not of the Romish clergy, or of any of their religious orders, having laid aside his habit: I [am] an husbandman;
he shall put on the habit of a husbandman, and work for his bread; for he will not be able to support himself, as before, with the sale of pardons and indulgences, and by praying souls out of purgatory; for no man hereafter will buy of his merchandise, ( Revelation 18:11 ) and he will be ashamed of his former calling and traffic, and will not own that he was ever concerned therein; but will affirm that he was never of the Romish clergy, but always a layman, and employed in husbandry: for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth;
he will say he was brought up to husbandry, or in some mechanic business, from his youth, and never was in any convent or monastery, or of any religious order: it may be rendered, "for man made me to work from my youth" F21; and is not to be restrained to keeping cattle, or any particular employment.

Zaccaria 13:5 In-Context

3 E avverrà che quando alcuno profetizzerà ancora, suo padre, e sua madre, che l’avran generato, gli diranno: Tu non viverai; conciossiachè tu abbi proferita menzogna nel Nome del Signore; e suo padre, e sua madre, che l’avran generato, lo trafiggeranno, mentre egli profetizzerà.
4 Ed avverrà in quel giorno, che i profeti saran confusi, ciascuno della visione ch’egli avrà proposta, quando egli profetizzava; e non si vestiranno più d’ammanto velloso, per mentire.
5 E ciascun di loro dirà: Io non son profeta, io son lavorator di terra; perciocchè altri mi ha fatto andar dietro al bestiame fin dalla mia giovanezza.
6 E gli si dirà: Che voglion dire quelle ferite, che tu hai in mezzo delle mani? Ed egli dirà: Son quelle che mi sono state date nella casa de’ miei amici.
7 O SPADA, destati contro al mio Pastore, contro all’uomo che è mio prossimo, dice il Signor degli eserciti; percuoti il Pastore, e le pecore saran disperse; ma pure io volgerò la mia mano sopra i piccoli.
