Jesus quotes the prophet Zechariah to show that in order to fulfill prophecy, all of his disciples will leave him.

# fall away
|
|
|
|
"leave me"
|
|
|
|
# for it is written
|
|
|
|
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "for the prophet Zechariah wrote long ago in the scriptures" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

# I will strike
|
|

Here "I" refers to God. It is implied that God will cause or allow people to harm and kill Jesus. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

# the shepherd ... sheep of the flock

# the sheep of the flock will be scattered
|
