Zechariah 13:6

“And [one] shall say unto him, What [are] these wounds in thine hands? etc.] That is, if thou art not a prophet, what is the meaning of these wounds in thine hands? which design either those his father and mother had given him, when they thrust him through for being a false prophet, (<381303>Zechariah 13:3) or the mark of the beast he received in his right hand, which he was obliged to take when he entered into holy orders, (<661309>Revelation 13:9,16,17), or the wounds and stripes he gave himself, in the exercise of his superstition and will worship: then he shall answer, [Those] with which I was wounded [in] the house of my friends; he will pretend that these were wounds he had privately in…”

“wounds in thine hand--The interrogator still suspects him: "If so, if you have never pretended to be a prophet, whence come those wounds?" The Hebrew is literally, "between thine hands."

And so will truth prevail dissipating falsehood, that he too, who was punished for his own fault, will own that he suffered rightly.” But…”

“With which I was wounded - To recover me from ruining myself and others by imposture, see Zac 13:3. Zechariah 13:7”

“13:6 wounds on your chest?: These wounds might be cuts or bruises that ecstatic prophets, especially in Canaanite religious circles, sometimes gave themselves (see 1 Kgs 18:28). False prophets would make excuses for themselves, such as, I was wounded at my friends’ house!”
