Strike the shepherd, the sheep scatter Zechariah 13:7 and Matthew 26:31
Zechariah has God command the sword against his shepherd so the flock scatters. On the way to Gethsemane Jesus quotes it to predict the disciples' desertion — fulfilled that same night.
"All ye shall be offended" Zechariah 13:7 and Mark 14:27
