Zec 11:12 | MHM | STEP | v. 12 : And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver. Zechariah asks the people to pay him if they value his work as shepherd. They pay him thirty pieces of silver, the price of a slave—showing they think very little of God’s care. This is a prophecy that points ahead to the betrayal of Jesus for thirty pieces of silver (Zechariah 11:12; Matthew 26:15 ).
