This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Then; when the prophet had inquired into the meaning of these emblems.



The angel that talked with me: see Zec_1:19.



Knowest thou not? it is not a question either to upbraid the prophet as an ignoramus, Christ doth not reproach his for not knowing deep and dark mysteries at first sight of them; nor is it the question of one that was uncertain about the thing inquired into, Christ knew the prophet’s ignorance though he ask the question; but it is to excite him to attend and learn.



And I said, No; Zechariah freely confesseth he knew not, he pretends not to know what indeed he did not know.



My lord: he owns the greatness and sovereignty of Christ.
