Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Zechariah 13:5-6.


Zechariah 13:6

_ _ wounds in thine hand — The interrogator still suspects him: “If so, if you have never pretended to be a prophet, whence come those wounds?” The Hebrew is literally, “between thine hands.” The hands were naturally held up to ward off the blows, and so were “thrust through” (Zechariah 13:3) “between” the bones of the hand. Stoning was the usual punishment; “thrusting through” was also a fit retribution on one who tried to “thrust Israel away” from the Lord (Deuteronomy 13:10); and perfects the type of Messiah, condemned as a false prophet, and pierced with “wounds between His hands.” Thus the transition to the direct prophecy of Him (Zechariah 13:7) is natural, which it would not be if He were not indirectly and in type alluded to.

_ _ wounded in ... house of my friends — an implied admission that he had pretended to prophecy, and that his friends had wounded him for it in zeal for God (Zechariah 13:3). The Holy Spirit in Zechariah alludes indirectly to Messiah, the Antitype, wounded by those whom He came to befriend, who ought to have been His “friends,” who were His kinsmen (compare Zechariah 13:3, as to the false prophet’s friends, with Mark 3:21, “His friends,” Margin, “kinsmen”; John 7:5; “His own,” John 1:11; the Jews, “of whom as concerning the flesh He came,” Romans 9:5), but who wounded Him by the agency of the Romans (Zechariah 12:10).

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Zechariah 13:6

And [one] shall say to him, What [are] these (h) wounds in thy hands? Then he shall answer, [Those] with which I was wounded [in] the house of my friends.

(h) By this he shows that though their parents and friends dealt more gently with them, and did not put them to death, yet they would so punish their children that became false prophets, that the marks and signs would remain forever.
