Contextual Overview

7 Upon the twentie and fourth day of the eleuenth moneth, (whiche is the moneth Sebah) in the seconde yere of Darius, came the word of the Lord vnto Zacharias the sonne of Barachias the sonne of Addo the prophete, saying: 8 I sawe by night, and behold, there sate one vpon a red horse, and stoode still among the myrre trees that were in a botome: and behinde hym were there red, speckled, and whyte horses. 9 Then sayde I, O my Lorde, what are these? And the angel that talked with me, sayde vnto me: I will shewe thee what these be. 10 And the man that stoode among the myrre trees aunswered, and said: These are they whom the Lorde hath sent to go thorowe the world. 11 And they aunswered the angel of the Lorde that stoode among the myrre trees, and sayd: We haue gone thorowe the world, and beholde all the world sitteth still, and is carelesse. 12 Then the lordes angel gaue aunswere, and saide: O lorde of hoastes, how long wylt thou be vnmerciful to Hierusalem, and to the cities of Iuda, with whom thou hast ben displeased now these three score and ten yeres? 13 So the Lorde gaue a louing and a comfortable aunswere vnto the angel that talked with me. 14 And the angel that communed with me, saide vnto me: Crye thou, & speake, Thus saith the Lorde of hoastes: I am exceeding ielous ouer Hierusalem and Sion, 15 And sore displeased at the carelesse heathen: for where as I was but a litle angry, they helped forward the affliction. 16 Therfore thus saith the Lorde: I wyl returne vnto Hierusalem in tender mercie, so that my house shalbe builded in it, saith the Lorde of hoastes: yea, and the lyne shalbe stretched vpon Hierusale

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the Lord answered the angel that talked with me,.... See Zechariah 1:9 what was the effect of Christ's intercession for the people of the Jews, was communicated to a ministering angel, and by him to the Prophet Zechariah:

[with] good words, and comfortable words; such as would be for the good and comfort of God's people, as follows; see Isaiah 40:1.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And the Lord answered the angel that talked with me - Either directly, at the intercession of the angel of the Lord, or mediately through an answer first given to him, and by him communicated to the subordinate angel. Neither is expressed.

Good words - As God had promised, “after seventy years shall be accomplished at Babylon, I will visit you and perform My good word unto you, causing you to return to this place” Jeremiah 29:10; and Joshua says, “There failed not ought of any good word which the Lord spake unto the house of Israel” (Joshua 21:43 (45 English) add Joshua 23:14-15).

Comfortable words - Literally, “consolations” (asIsaiah 57:18; Isaiah 57:18). Perhaps the Angel who received the message had, from their tender compassion for us, whereby they “joy over one sinner that repenteth” Luke 15:10, a part in these consolations which he conveyed.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Zechariah 1:13. The Lord answered the angel — And the angel told the prophet that the answer was gracious and comfortable. This answer is given in the next verse.
