Zechariah 13:7 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

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.

Zechariah 13:7

7 Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.
