Commentary on Zechariah 13:7
Theological / DevotionalSmite the shepherd. Jesus applied these words to Himself (Matt. 26:31). The sheep were scattered when His disciples fled before He was taken to His trial and death (see Matt. 26:56; John 16:32).
Turn mine hand. This phrase may be understood either in a good sense, as in Isa. 1:25, or in a bad sense, as in Amos 1:8. In the former sense it is an assurance of comfort and protection to His “little ones,” in the latter a prediction that difficulties and distress would extend even to the meek and lowly of the flock.
