The Bible OverBrew - Bible in a YearSample

Week 26. Day 4. Zechariah 11-14.

As we did yesterday, continue to pay particular attention to verses that are quoted in the NT regarding Jesus and his ministry, but try to do so in context of the whole book, and see how that gives a richer perspective on them.

• Zech 11:12-13 God / a faithful shepherd insultingly paid off for 30 pieces of silver (Matt 27:9-10).
• Zech 12:10 Mourning for the one they have pierced (John 19:37).
• Zech 13:7 The shepherd struck, the sheep scattered (Matt 26:31, Mark 14:27)

(Table adapted from NIV Biblical Theology Study Bible)

Ch 12 Note the repeated ‘on that day’ in Ch 12-14, pointing to the future. Also the many David references

Ch 14 Is this chapter a surprise after what has happened so far in the book? How is the hope presented?

How does temple imagery feature in this final chapter?

NOTE: Days 1-5 of each week contain the scripture reading for that week. Day 6 has just the 'key chapters'. If you want a briefer version of this plan that still takes you through the whole Bible, you could just read the key chapters featured on day 6. Day 7 has the podcast video where we discuss the week's reading.
