26:31 God will strike: In Zech 13:7-9, the Shepherd, God’s partner, is struck down (understood by Jesus as a prediction of his own death), and out of the scattered sheep emerge a purged, purified remnant of faithful ones (Zech 13:8-9). In the short term, the disciples would soon be scattered and deny association with Jesus (Matt 26:34, 56, 69-75).
