Zechariah 13:7
Compare all
5 aBut he will say, ‘I am no prophet, I am a farmer; for a man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.’  
6 And one will say to him, ‘What are these wounds between your1 arms?’ Then he will answer, ‘Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.’ 

The Shepherd Savior

7 “Awake, O sword, against aMy Shepherd,
Against the Man bwho is My Companion,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
c“Strike the Shepherd,
And the sheep will be scattered;
Then I will turn My hand against dthe little ones. 
8 And it shall come to pass in all the land,”
Says the Lord,
“That atwo-thirds in it shall be cut off and die,
bBut one–third shall be left in it: 
9 I will bring the one–third athrough the fire,
Will brefine them as silver is refined,
And test them as gold is tested.
cThey will call on My name,
And I will answer them.
dI will say, ‘This is My people’;
And each one will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’ ”

Zechariah 13:7

O sword - Afflictions, persecutions, and the cross. My shepherd - Who is my faithful shepherd, and will lay down his life for my sheep. My fellow - This speaks Christ; man with us, and God with his father, God - man in one person. The shepherd - This great and good shepherd. Turn mine hand - God will turn his hand in favour, and for protection will keep the new, and weak disciples.
