Zacharias 13:3
And it shall come to pass, that when any man shall prophesy any more, his father and his mother that brought him into the world, shall say to him: Thou shalt not live: because thou hast spoken a lie in the name of the Lord. And his father, and his mother, his parents, shall thrust him through, when he shall prophesy.

- καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν προφητεύσῃ ἄνθρωπος ἔτι, καὶ ἐρεῖ πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ, οἱ γεννήσαντες αὐτόν Οὐ ζήσῃ, ὅτι ψευδῆ ἐλάλησας ἐπ᾽ ὀνόματι Κυρίου· καὶ συμποδιοῦσιν αὐτὸν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ, οἱ γεννήσαντες αὐτόν, ἐν τῷ προφητεύειν αὐτόν.

Haydock's commentary
Not live. The law condemned those prophets to death, who attempted to lead the people into idolatry, Deuteronomy xiii. 1. People shall be so zealous for God's honour, that the parents of the seducer shall themselves (Calmet) bring him to judgment. (Haydock)
Through, or make some mark upon him, as fugitive slaves, &c., were stigmatized. (Calmet)
Septuagint, "shall shackle." (Haydock)
They before interpreted dakar, danced, or insulted. The others have in both places, "pierced." (St. Jerome)
The person was not slain, ver. 6.
