Hi everyone!I guess you already have in mind Matthew 23:35 and Luke 11:51, and 2 Chronicles 24:20,21. I have heard it stated that the NT references refer to this Zechariah, who was stoned in the temple, as if he was the last of the martyrs because his martyrdom is recorded in the last book of the Hebrew Bible, and so apparently later than the chronologically later book of the prophet Zechariah. But the father's name in the New Testament, Berechiah, matches that of the prophet, whose death is not recorded in the Hebrew Bible.
Does anyone know of a tradition which claims that Zechariah ben-Berechiah
(the prophet) was murdered on the temple grounds? If so, references would be
appreciated.
