Read the chapter

1Then I raised my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a man with a measuring line in his hand. ✦ 2So I said, “Where are you going?” And he said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see how wide it is and how long it is.” ✦ 3And behold, the angel who had been speaking with me was going out, and another angel was going out to meet him. ✦ 4And he said to him, “Run, speak to that young man there, saying, ‘Jerusalem will be inhabited as open country because of the multitude of people and cattle within it. ✦ 5But I,’ declares the Lord, ‘will be a wall of fire to her on all sides, and I will be the glory in her midst.’ ” ✦ 6“You there! Flee from the land of the north,” declares the Lord, “because I have spread you out like the four winds of the heavens,” declares the Lord. ✦ 7“You, Zion! Escape, you who are living with the daughter of Babylon.” ✦ 8For the Lord of armies says this: “After glory He has sent Me against the nations that plunder you, for the one who touches you, touches the apple of His eye. ✦ 9For behold, I am going to wave My hand over them so that they will be plunder for their slaves. Then you will know that the Lord of armies has sent Me. ✦ 10Shout for joy and rejoice, daughter of Zion; for behold I am coming and I will dwell in your midst,” declares the Lord. ✦ 11“And many nations will join themselves to the Lord on that day and will become My people. Then I will dwell in your midst, and you will know that the Lord of armies has sent Me to you. ✦ 12And the Lord will possess Judah as His portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem. ✦ 13“Be silent, all mankind, before the Lord; for He has roused Himself from His holy dwelling.” ✦

Christ at the center

The Branch who is both priest and king, the shepherd struck and the flock scattered, the king coming humble on a donkey, the one they pierced, the fountain opened for sin — Zechariah is dense with Christ.
