Zechariah 13

English Standard Version

13 ^(A)“On that day there shall be ^(B)a fountain opened for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and uncleanness.

Idolatry Cut Off

²“And ^(C)on that day, declares the Lord of hosts, ^(D)I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, so that ^(E)they shall be remembered no more. And also ^(F)I will remove from the land the prophets and the spirit of uncleanness. ³And if anyone again prophesies, his father and mother who bore him will say to him, ^(G)‘You shall not live, for you speak lies in the name of the Lord.’ And his father and mother who bore him shall pierce him through when he prophesies.

⁴“On that day ^(H)every prophet will be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies. He will not put on a hairy cloak in order to deceive, ⁵but he will say, ^(I)‘I am no prophet, I am a worker of the soil, for a man sold me in my youth.’^[a] ⁶And if one asks him, ‘What are these wounds on your back?’^[b] he will say, ‘The wounds I received in the house of my friends.’

The Shepherd Struck

⁷“Awake, O sword, against ^(J)my shepherd,
against the man who stands next to me,”
declares the Lord of hosts.

^(K)“Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered;
    I will turn my hand against the little ones.
⁸In the whole land, declares the Lord,
    two thirds shall be cut off and perish,
    ^(L)and one third shall be left alive.
⁹And ^(M)I will put this third into the fire,
    and refine them as one refines silver,
    and test them as gold is tested.
^(N)They will call upon my name,
    and ^(O)I will answer them.
^(P)I will say, ‘They are my people’;
    and they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’”

Jesus Foretells Peter's Denial

²⁶^(A)And when they had sung a hymn, ^(B)they went out to ^(C)the Mount of Olives. ²⁷And Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, for it is written, ‘I will ^(D)strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’ ²⁸But after I am raised up, ^(E)I will go before you to Galilee.” ²⁹^(F)Peter said to him, “Even though they all fall away, I will not.” ³⁰And ^(G)Jesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, before ^(H)the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” ³¹But ^(I)he said emphatically, “If I must die with you, I will not deny you.” And they all said the same.
