Abstract

This article, dealing in parallel with The Book of Zechariah and The Gospel of Mathew, is focused on the similarity of ideas and expressions common to both books. It concentrates on an analysis of the biblical text and the most significant allusions, highlighting the connection between the prophesies of Zechariah and their use in Matthew. In the Gospel, that which comes from Zechariah is focused upon Jesus, who is depicted as a humble king who redeems his people and is presented like an abandoned shepherd. The language and concepts through which Jesus is described are closer to the Hebrew thoughts than to Greek concepts.
