Zechariah 13:6-8
English Standard Version
6 And if one asks him, ‘What are these wounds on your back?’[a] he will say, ‘The wounds I received in the house of my friends.’
The Shepherd Struck
7 “Awake, O sword, against (A)my shepherd,
against the man who stands next to me,”
declares the Lord of hosts.
(B)“Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered;
I will turn my hand against the little ones.
8 In the whole land, declares the Lord,
two thirds shall be cut off and perish,
(C)and one third shall be left alive.
