Zechariah 11:12
_ _ I said — The prophet here represents the person of Jehovah-Messiah.
_ _ If ye think good — literally, “If it be good in your eyes.” Glancing at their self-sufficient pride in not deigning to give Him that return which His great love in coming down to them from heaven merited, namely, their love and obedience. “My price”; my reward for pastoral care, both during the whole of Israel’s history from the Exodus, and especially the three and a half years of Messiah’s ministry. He speaks as their “servant,” which He was to them in order to fulfil the Father’s will (Philippians 2:7).
_ _ if not, forbear — They withheld that which He sought as His only reward, their love; yet He will not force them, but leave His cause with God (Isaiah 49:4, Isaiah 49:5). Compare the type Jacob cheated of his wages by Laban, but leaving his cause in the hands of God (Genesis 31:41, Genesis 31:42).
_ _ So ... thirty pieces of silver — thirty shekels. They not only refused Him His due, but added insult to injury by giving for Him the price of a gored bond-servant (Exodus 21:32; Matthew 26:15). A freeman was rated at twice that sum. |
Zechariah 11:12
And I said — Upon parting, Christ seems after the manner of men, to mind them of his claims for them, and desire them to reckon with him. If ye think good — He puts it to them, whether they thought he deserved ought at their hands? So they — The rulers of the Jews, the high priest, chief priests, and pharisees. Weighed — Which was the manner of paying money in those days. Thirty pieces — Which amounts to thirty — seven shillings and six — pence, the value of the life of a slave, Exodus 21:32. This was fulfilled when they paid Judas Iscariot so much to betray Christ. |
Zechariah 11:12
And I said to them, If ye think good, give [me] (p) my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty [pieces] of silver.
(p) Besides their ingratitude, God accuses them of malice and wickedness, who did not only forget his benefits, but esteemed them as nothing. |
