The Hebrew bible/Original Testament/Tanakh doesn't have jesus in it anywhere.
Matthew 27:3-10 Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus was condemned, felt remorse, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, (4) saying, “I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? You see to it.” (5) He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary, and departed. He went away and hanged himself. (6) The chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, “It’s not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.” (7) They took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them, to bury strangers in. (8) Therefore that field was called “The Field of Blood” to this day. (9) Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the children of Israel priced, (10) and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”It's just that there's no Christian inclinations in the Old Testament that would provide any validity to the New Testament.
Zechariah 11:12-14 I said to them, “If you think it best, give me my wages; and if not, keep them.” So they weighed for my wages thirty pieces of silver. (13) Yahweh said to me, “Throw it to the potter, the handsome price that I was valued at by them!” I took the thirty pieces of silver, and threw them to the potter, in Yahweh’s house. (14) Then I cut apart my other staff, even Union, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
In my opinion:
Zechariah 11 (Jeremiah 25:34-38) was fulfilled when 30 pieces of silver were paid and put in the Potter's field in the House of Israel, this nullified the covenants, thus the 2nd temple was destroyed, and diaspora happened.
in Zechariah 11:8 and in Isaiah 53:3 he is despised; just as we find in the New Testament, it is the Leaders of the people who are the ones who had Yeshua put to death, fulfilling the prophecies in the process.
Think the reason people don't see the connections isn't translation, as we can all use technology to bridge the gap with concordances, dictionaries, and research tools; we can virtually check under every word... It is more a comprehension issue, we need to be able to store masses of text in our mind, to add it up properly like code.
In my opinion.
