Gill's Notes on the Bible
And [one] shall say unto him, What [are] these wounds in thine hands?.... That is, if thou art not a prophet, what is the meaning of these wounds in thine hands? which design either those his father and mother had given him, when they thrust him through for being a false prophet, Zechariah 13:3 or the mark of the beast he received in his right hand, which he was obliged to take when he entered into holy orders, Revelation 13:9, or the wounds and stripes he gave himself, in the exercise of his superstition and will worship:
then he shall answer, [Those] with which I was wounded [in] the house of my friends; he will pretend that these were wounds he had privately in his father's family, by way of correction, for not doing his civil and secular business as he ought to have done; or he shall be obliged to confess the mark of the beast on him; or that these were wounds he had given himself in the temples and churches, dedicated to angels and saints, his patrons, friends, and lovers; with whom he committed spiritual adultery or idolatry, and before whose images and shrines he had cut and given himself these wounds and gashes, to the great dishonour of Christ, as if his crucifixion and wounds were of no avail; wherefore his sufferings and death are next spoken of: and some understand these words of Christ, introduced after this manner; the prophet having spoken of the false prophet, thrust through by his parents, because that Christ would be reckoned a false prophet and impostor by his countrymen the Jews, and be crucified by them as such, represents the Jews as upbraiding him with his crucifixion, which they suggest he righteously suffered, for seducing their nation: to which he replies, that indeed he was crucified, and thereby wounded with the nails drove into his hands and feet; and this usage he met with from those of his own nation, and who pretended to be the friends of the Messiah, and to expect his coming, and this at or near Jerusalem, where was the temple or house of God; but all this he endured, not for any crime he had been guilty of, but according to the counsel and will, purpose and decree, of God; whereby he was appointed the Shepherd of the flock; the Mediator between God and man; the Saviour of his people; and to die such a death, in order to obtain salvation for them; which counsel and will of God are clearly and strongly expressed in the following verse Zechariah 13:7: and to this sense Capellus interprets the words.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
And one shall say unto him, What are those wounds in thy hands? - The words are simple; the meaning different , according as they are united with what immediately precedes, or the main subject, Him whom they pierced, for whom they were to mourn, and, on their mourning, to be cleansed, and of whom it is said in the next verse, âAwake, O sword, against My Shepherd.â Jerome and others explain it of the punishment inflicted by parents. âThese wounds and bruises I received, condemned by the judgment of my parents, and of those who did not hate but loved me. And so will truth prevail dissipating falsehood, that he too, who was punished for his own fault, will own that he suffered rightly.â
But wounds of chastisement are not inflicted on the hands, and the punishment of false prophecy was not such wounds, but death. Wounds in the hands were no punishment, which parents would inflict. They were the special punishment of the cross , after sustaining which, One only lived. The most literal interpretation, then, of the wounds in the hands harmonizes with the piercing before, and the smiting of the Good Shepherd which follows, of whom David too prophesied, âThey pierced My Hands and My Feetâ Psalms 22:16. âWhat are those wounds on Thy hands? How long, think you, and how and by whom will this be said to Him? For ever and ever, unceasingly, and with unspeakable admiration it will be said, both by God the Father, âto whom He was obedient unto death, the death of the Crossâ Philippians 2:8 : it will be said also both by the holy âangelsâ who âdesire to look intoâ Him 1 Peter 1:12, and by people whom He has redeemed. O great miracle, wonderful spectacle, especially in the Lord of all, to bear wounds in the midst of His Hands! And He shall say; âWith these I was wounded in the house of those who loved Me.â O great sacrilege, sacrilegious homicide, that such wounds were inflicted in the house of those who loved. He will not say, âwith these I was wounded by those who loved Me,â but âin the house of those who loved Me.â For they who inflicted them, loved Him not.
But they were the house of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and David, and the rest like them, who loved Me, and expected Me, who was promised to them. Yet so to speak is not to answer the question, âwhat are these wounds?â For it is one thing to ask, what are these wounds, another to say, where they were inflicted. Having said, that they were inflicted in the house of those who loved Me. He says, what they are, âthe Cup which My Father hath given Me to drink.â For what He subjoins, is the Voice of the Father giving the Cup. âSword, awake, etc.â is as though he said, Ask ye, What are these wounds? I say, âthe tokens of obedience, the signs of the Fatherâs will and command. The Lord of hosts, God the Father âhath not sparedâ Me, âHis own Son, but hath givenâ Me âforâ you âall.â And He said, âAwake, o sword, against Jify Shepherd, and against the Man cohering to Me,â which is as much as, âO Death, have thou power over My Son, My good Shepherd, the Man who cohereth to Me, that is, who is joined in unity of Person with the Word who is consubstantial with Me!â And then, as though the sword asked, how or how far shall I arise against this Thy Shepherd, he subjoins, âSmite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.â Hence, the Shepherd Himself, when about to be smitten, spake, âAll ye shall be offended because of Me this night. For it is written, I will smite the Shepherd and the sheep shall be scatteredâ Matthew 26:31. So then to those who say, âwhat are those wounds in the midst of Thy hands?â is appositely subjoined the Voice of the Father, saying, âAwake, O sword, against My Shepherd etc.â in the meaning, âThey are monuments of the Fatherâs love, the tokens of My Obedience, because He âspared not His own Son,â and I âbecame obedientâ to Him for you all, âeven unto death, and that, the death of the Cross. ââ
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Zechariah 13:6. What are these wounds in thine hands? — Marks which he had received in honour of his idols. But he shall excuse himself by stating that he had received these marks in his own family; when, most probably, they had been dedicated to some of those idols. Isaiah 44:5. I do not think that these words are spoken at all concerning Jesus Christ. I have heard them quoted in this way; but I cannot hear such an application of them without horror. In quoting from the Old Testament in reference to the New, we cannot be too cautious. We may wound the truth instead of honouring it.
