John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 37. And again another Scripture saith , etc.] ( Zechariah 12:10) which as the former is referred to on account of the not breaking of his bones, this is cited as fulfilled by the piercing of his side: they shall look on him whom they pierced ; in the Hebrew text it is, upon me whom they have pierced; the reason of this difference is, because Christ, who is Jehovah, is there speaking prophetically of himself, here the evangelist cites it as fulfilled in him, that is, that part of it which regards the piercing of him; for that of the Jews looking upon him and mourning is yet to be fulfilled, and will be at the time of their conversion in the latter day, and at the day of judgment. And as the piercing of the Messiah has been literally fulfilled in Jesus, there is reason to believe, though the Jews are to this day hardened against him, that that part of the prophecy which concerns their looking to him, and mourning for him on account of his being pierced by them, will also, in Gods own time, be fulfilled. Nor is it any objection to the application of this prophecy to our Lord Jesus, that not the Jews, but the Roman soldiers pierced him, since what one does by another, he may be said to do himself: though it was a Roman soldier that pierced the side of Christ, the Jews might desire and urge him to do it; and however, they agreed to it, and were well pleased with it; and just so Christ is said to be crucified and slain by them; though this was done by the above soldiers, because they prevailed upon Pilate to pass the sentence of death upon him, and to deliver him to the soldiers to be crucified. From the citation of this passage it appears, that the writers of the New Testament did not always follow the Greek version of the Old Testament, which here renders the words very differently, and very wrongly; but John cites them according to the Hebrew text, even which we now have, and which is an instance of the truth, purity, and integrity of the present Hebrew books of the Old Testament. The Jewish doctors themselves own that these words respect the Messiah, though they pretend that Messiah ben Joseph is meant, who shall be slain in the wars of Gog and Magog; for since their disappointment, and the blindness and hardness of heart which have followed it, they feign two Messiahs as expected by them; one Messiah ben David, who they suppose will be prosperous and victorious; and the other Messiah ben Joseph, who will suffer much, and at last be killed.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 31-37 - A trial was made whether Jesus was dead. He died in less time tha persons crucified commonly did. It showed that he had laid down his life of himself. The spear broke up the very fountains of life; n human body could survive such a wound. But its being so solemnl attested, shows there was something peculiar in it. The blood and wate that flowed out, signified those two great benefits which all believer partake of through Christ, justification and sanctification; blood for atonement, water for purification. They both flow from the pierced sid of our Redeemer. To Christ crucified we owe merit for ou justification, and Spirit and grace for our sanctification. Let thi silence the fears of weak Christians, and encourage their hopes; ther came both water and blood out of Jesus' pierced side, both to justif and sanctify them. The Scripture was fulfilled, in Pilate's no allowing his legs to be broken, Ps 34:20. There was a type of this is the paschal lamb, Ex 12:46. May we ever look to Him, whom, by our sins we have ignorantly and heedlessly pierced, nay, sometimes agains convictions and mercies; and who shed from his wounded side both wate and blood, that we might be justified and sanctified in his name.
