Zechariah 13:5-6
_ _ The detection of one of the false prophets dramatically represented. He is seized by some zealous vindicator of the law, and in fear cries out, “I am no prophet.”
_ _ man — that is, one.
_ _ taught me to keep cattle — As “keeping cattle” is not the same as to be “an husbandman,” translate rather, “Has used (or ‘appropriated’) me as a servant,” namely, in husbandry [Maurer]. However, husbandry and keeping cattle might be regarded as jointly the occupation of the person questioned: then Amos 7:14, “herdman,” will accord with English Version. A Hebrew kindred word means “cattle.” Both occupations, the respondent replies, are inconsistent with my being a “prophet.” |

But he shall say, I [am] no (g) prophet, I [am] a farmer; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.

- I am no:
Amos 7:14 Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I [was] no prophet, neither [was] I a prophet's son; but I [was] an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:
Acts 19:17-20 And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. ... So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.
