If you do some further research you will find that the Hebrew manuscript evidence is split on “me” or “him” in Zechariah 12:10. Why do we know “him” is more likely? How did John understand that text?

All translations, including the King James Version, show John here translating Zechariah 12:10 as “They shall look upon him [or `the one’] whom they pierced.” So we have this Apostle and inspired Bible writer telling us plainly that Zechariah 12:10 should read: “They shall look upon him (not `me’).” So Jehovah is speaking in Zechariah 12:10 of someone else who will be pierced – not Himself!
